Amazing
- we have raised a £1000 to be shared by the Hospice and the Omega MND
appeal. Another really successful Devils Chair Dawdle or Dash.
This year's event saw over 280 of the 340 official
entries complete the arduous course in under 1 hour. As
usual a big thank you from John and Geoff to all who helped
at the start and finish, on top of the hill and in the kitchen.

A welcome to all who would explore the South Shropshire Hills
I have been walking and running the Shropshire Hills ever since my father bought the Stiperstones Inn over 40 years ago.My
brother John and I started the Devil's Chair Dawdle or Dash in the late
1970s and this annual Boxing Day event continues to attract over 400
runners, joggers and walkers no matter what the weather. The event must
have raised over £10000 for local charities.
In its early days my times of 12 to 13 hours could get you into the top
ten finishers of the Long Mynd Hike. Nowadays we would have been four
hours behind the winner.
The Marches L.D.W.A. have been organising challenge and social walks
around the South Shropshire Hills for many years. Their flagship event
: the 'South Shropshire Circular' is regularly oversubscribed and is
usually guaranteed to bring a covering of snow before the March winds
come to herald the spring. The
2012 Wenlock Olympian Walk ( WOW) will start from Much Wenlock on the weekend of July21st/22nd.
The Stiperstones Inn - an award winning restaurant and a centre for the
local community - has long been a haven for walkers, runners, cyclists
and horse riders.
