Finishers List News for 2017

Every year for the last eleven, people have found there way to Wistanstow for our annual walk through the stunning Welsh Marches countryside. Despite some showers this year, everyone seems to have had another enjoyable walk, what ever distance they achieved.

And every year, we are indebted to a wonderful group of volunteers, who give freely of their time so that others can enjoy a walk, providing aid and friendly support along the way. Thanks everyone.

Phil is now away on his rallying duties (Isle of Man); for those that don't know, he frequently travels through the countryside very fast! Therefore, the usual comprehensive Finisher's List and report will be delayed until next week. In the meantime, he's managed to produce a list of those who completed the whole walk, and that now appears on the Finisher's List page.

Apologies for those retiring during the event, your achievements will appear when he returns, along with the checkpoint times for all and his usual report on the day's events.
