REPORT OF THE 33rd WHITE PEAK WALK

Saturday 13th July 2019

Weather this year was pretty much ideal – a pleasant sunny day but not too hot.

Allowing for no-shows and a few entries on the day, we started the field with 302 entrants which regarding that we aim for 300 wasn’t bad!

Results for this year:

First Man Johnathan Kinder in 4 hours 4 minutes

First Lady Wona Donnelly in 4 hours 48 minutes (exactly as her last year time!)

First Male Veteran Billy Naylor in 4 hours 5 minutes

First Lady Veteran Sheila Bradley in 5 hours 8 minutes

First Local Man Joseph Jones in 7 hours 15 minutes

First Local Lady Georgina Martin in 8 hours 21 minutes

All the background work that goes into organising the WPW both during the year and on the day is all the more worthwhile when we see all the smiling faces at the checkpoints and at the finish and we really do appreciate all the nice comments that you make, even if they are made through the pain of just completing 26 miles!

As in previous years we were ably assisted in the event by Kinder Mountain Rescue Team who did a marvellous job looking after the medical issues of the day and also by RAYNET who looked after all the communications. Without the help of these two teams it would be impossible to consider organising an event like the White Peak Walk.

As always, we would like thank the many helpers who give their time freely to man the checkpoints, the kitchen and the registration/control desk – without their help, we could not possibly continue to stage this event to the quality that has developed over the years.

Both this report and the results are also posted on the website where we will make the entry form for 2020 available hopefully by 1st September. In any event you will receive an email to let you know when the 2020 event is open for business. We do encourage you to fill it out and send it off without delay. The walk always fills early and we like to give previous entrants first crack of the whip.

 We look forward to seeing you again next year! (11th July 2020)

The WPW organising team, Peter, Colin, Al and Mike
