The route has been checked in the last few days and it’s understandably muddy in a few places, with some crops still standing. Weather forecasts for the coming week suggest it’s going to be fairly dry and sunny, so we expect it to dry out reasonably well and the crops to finally get harvested.
Friday will see a final check and we’ll try and post a brief update on the conditions, along with a local weather forecast for Saturday.

Supporter News - The Outdoor Depot
We are pleased to welcome on board as new supporters of our walk:
The Outdoor Depot
Shop 1 Sandford Court
Sandford Avenue
Church Stretton
Shropshire
SY6 6BH
Tel: 01694 724293
We’re grateful to all those businesses that help out – whether it be supplies, finance, or in some other form; it means more of your entry money can be passed on to our beneficiaries. Links to such businesses are found on the right-hand side.
If you think they may be able to help you, then do please give them that opportunity. It’s often said but is true nonetheless, if you don’t use them, they might not be there when you most need them.

We’re pleased to report that entries are now approaching the 100 mark and on this basis we can expect to fill the available entry (150), before the event date.
As organisers, it’s a great help to be confident of numbers, especially when it comes to organising food and suchlike. Your most excellent forward planning is to be applauded – thanks everyone.
Coming soon: another local business supports our little walk.

Supporter News - Barchester Healthcare
Time to start updating the blog more regularly, now that the event is poking its head above the horizon – albeit a watery horizon in this part of the world – summer!
A new supporter has joined the ranks: Barchester Healthcare, one of the biggest independent care providers in the UK. They now have a presence in Ludlow; Hagley Place Care Home but can be found elsewhere in the county.
Always nice when a large organisation recognises your event and shows a willingness to help. Thank you Barchester.

Happy New Year (and some fettling news)
It’s the festive season and so almost by tradition, it means I’m going to give the site a little revamp. I do test any changes on a duplicate site before letting them loose here but there is just a chance you may visit whilst I’m in the process of updating things. My apologies if you find things aren’t quite what they should be – it should only be a brief interruption!
In the meantime, on behalf of the Wistanstow Challenge Walk, I hope that the new year ahead proves a happy and healthy one for all that visit here.
A reminder that a great selection of photographs of the event are to be found on Alastair Tye’s website: Fell Running Pictures (Wistanstow 2011 page)
