THE MID-WEEK KANTER

The Mid-Week Kanter was evolved from an idea by Jeff Parr and John Viney, at a time when no other mid-week challenge events existed.  The routes including the clues were designed by Jeff, while the responsibility for the entry forms, certificates, badges and other matters were shared by John and Doreen Viney and George Moughton. John co-ordinated the running of the event.  Pauline Edwards was also involved receiving entries and distributing badges, certificates and the register of the 5-event badges, which were presented to people who had completed 5 events, or as Anytime Challenges.  The idea of the event was to provide various grid references and clues, which entrants had to solve whilst walking the route.  The answers were checked and 3 winners were drawn and given free entry to any of our events.

The first event was held in 1998 and the final one, organised by these members in 2008,  resulted in ten different and varied routes in the Pendle, Ribble and Hodder Valleys and the Bowland areas. The exception being  2001, which was cancelled due to the foot and mouth outbreak. There was another event in 2009, but this was largely the 1999 route.

The routes are as follows
