Wensleydale Wander 2011 report - Young walkers at the Lord's Bridge Checkpoint

‹ › ×

Over 160 walkers and runners completed the 22 mile route, including the Nine year old grandson of one of the Wensleydale Rotarians! About 120 walkers and runners completed the shorter, 12 mile walk, with some of the runners arriving back at Wensleydale school before lunch was ready!

The weather was near perfect with lots of sunshine, but not too hot. However, after the long dry spell, the ground was a little hard.
