2013 - Jan 20th

Event cancelled - snow conditions prevented marshals reaching checkpoints although undeterred, some hardy entrants went round the route regardless!

This is a wrongly dated draft

1990 no event - Surrey had decided to alternate the WT and PBM events - a decision later reversed.

(NOT the WT*)

     

*The high winds of the ferocious storm in the south east of England over the night of 16th/17th October 1987 left many paths blocked by fallen trees.  John Westcott, who devises the route of the Winter Tanners as a proving route for the Tanners Marathon held later in the year, was unable to determine just which paths would be cleared by the 3rd July 1988 date of the TM. To satisfy the WT as advertised, he devised a route more or less free of the devastation which, for that year, had a different route to the TM. As such it was called “Not the Winter Tanners”.  The last Tanners Marathon was held in 2010 which subsequently allowed John to devise routes unconstrained by the needs of the TM.
