Printing Problems?

Printing the Entry Form now appears to be causing some people a problem? The sledge hammer will be applied and we will see if it can be fixed. In the meantime, sorry for any inconvenience.

A reminder for LDWA (Long Distance Walkers Association) members that the Standard Entry Form is accepted. If you live in the south Shropshire area, entry forms can often be found in various public locations such as; libraries, Tourist Information Centres etc. If local to Wistanstow, there is always The Smithy Shop*.

Wistanstow entries arriving

Entries are now consistently landing on the mat at Entry HQ (Felhampton) but there is still plenty of room for more willing walkers.

In other news, congratulations (or commiserations) to all those who took part in the Housman Hundred.

Housman Hundred Wishes

Just a quick message of good luck to all those taking part in the Housman Hundred this weekend.

Here we are again

This year we celebrate five years of our walk. Previous years have seen all our efforts go towards providing funds for the Wistanstow Primary School and the Fire Fighters Charity. To help celebrate our 5th birthday, we thought that this year we would open the beneficiaries list to include another worthy cause from the parish of Wistanstow (tba).

With ever more pressures on small but locally important rural groups/charities, we hope to be able to spread some good cheer to another deserving cause.

Join us on 10th September and help us make it possible. The Rules and Entry Form are now available on the relevant page (see above).

Housman Hundred – LDWA entries now open

We mentioned the Housman Hundred (28-30 May 2011) in our post of 16th August and would just remind LDWA* members that entries (£50) are now open.

Entries for non-members will open on January 1st and will cost £65.

Visit the Housman Hundred website for entry details and other useful information.

(From the Housman Hundred Leg One route description.)

Entrants will hopefully experience a warmer day when they visit the fire tower. The views are great. This was a freezing cold November day with the sun struggling to break through. It never did, and despite the climb it was a hat and gloves sort of day.
