Email issues and apology

I apologise to anyone who’s emailed us and received no reply – such emails have never reached our eyes.

Whilst I’ve managed to access a few emails this year (In previous years we've not had many), I’ve been made aware of a couple of emails that have been sent and remain unanswered (never seen) and I regret that there may well be a few others. As a consequence, please note that the email address: wistanstowwalk@yahoo.co.uk is no longer in use.

They probably sit on a Yahoo server somewhere in a foreign land; I’m just sorry that despite my best efforts, I’m unable to retrieve them. There are only so many hours that you can spend reading ‘Help Forums' and following instructions that don’t achieve anything; except that is to increase my blood pressure. Perhaps the email address took offence at the event name change to ‘Tour des Marches’?

With this year’s publicity just quoting the email address: pclarke677@btinternet.com, I hope the annoyance caused by the old email address is minimal.

2015 Tour des Marches Entry Form page now live

Saturday 12th September, 2015

Please check out the relevant page for details of the event

and the entry form

Slightly less important updates will take place over the coming weeks!

A brief comment on the web address:

'I know, our web address always ended .com. Blogger/Google have introduced a system that means the address now defaults to the location of the reader. Our friends across the pond will see the site ending .com, just as someone in Japan will see .jp.

Country specific re-direction

And yes, I'm sure they do it just to annoy little old me and make our paperwork/publicity appear incorrect'.

News and website update coming soon

All the information you need will appear here in the near future. 2015 will be our 9th edition - where does the time go?

Tour des Marches 2014 Press Cuttings

We've made the local press:

South Shropshire Journal dated Friday, September 19, 2014

Ludlow Advertiser
dated Thursday, September 18, 2014

Quite how we've become a 'festival' is a mystery to us? We find organising a walk tiring enough.
