What you’re in for
A new twenty-one-mile route through the Shropshire Hills from Norbury village hall on the Saturday before Christmas. Mass start at eight, one checkpoint, nine hours, hot food at the end. An LDWA challenge event, which means walkers and runners together, a route description to navigate by rather than tape, checkpoints with food and drink, and a meal at the end. Entry is through the LDWA's own system, places are limited, and the ones in this list tend to fill early.
Terrain and trail
The Long Mynd and Stiperstones country: heathery hill track, steep-sided batches, farmland between — exposed on the tops in December. A trail shoe with grip.
