The 2011 Annual Longmynd Hike.............
hot!
Hot! HOT!
Ali Drummond took
part in the annual Longmynd Hike this year. This is a 50 mile hike/run that
follows a figure of eight route taking in eight summits of the South Shropshire
Hills. With unseasonably hot and dry weather it was particularly arduous with
many people having to retire. Alastair and his team mates (Dan Jones and Chris
Bowen) completed the 50 mile hike in an impressive time of 12 hours and 26
minutes, placing 23rd overall. |

Drummond are HOME!!!
After 10 1/2 Days of graft and com...mitting
paddling.
We 're back. A journey we started at Shrewsbury Weir in Sea Kayaks and
paddled all the way down the River Severn onto the Bristol Channel and
around the Welsh coast to Aberystwyth Harbour, then on the bikes for the
long pull up the A44 to Eisteddfa Gurig. We then set off on foot over
Plynlimon and to the Source of the River Severn and down to Nant Melen
and back on the bikes to Welshpool.
The final leg back in the boats for the final push to Shrewsbury Weir.
500 miles!
