After enjoying breakfast at the village hall 75 walkers and runners from all over the midlands started the inaugural Wistanstow Walk. Setting out to cover 26 miles in South West Shropshire, they visited checkpoints at Clun and Bishop’s Castle Fire Stations and climbed to the top of Ridgeway Hill, Clunton Hill and Oakley Mynd.

Glorious weather throughout the day ensured that the walkers could enjoy some wonderful panoramic views of Shropshire.

58 walkers and runners made it back to the finish where they all (including those who retired) enjoyed a hearty meal to replenish their energy supplies!
