I'd like to second that. Please think carefully before criticising other members or their work on behalf of the LDWA. Is this really the best tool to make your point?

Before I get any more emails (some bordering on the offensive), the route description posted on our website, at the request of a number of members, is a DRAFT. Although the route is unlikely to change, barring farming problems, eg bovine TB etc., the checkpoint timings are under review. We welcome feedback from entrants, but could I suggest that before the 'send' button is pressed, go and have a cup of tea and then come back and read again and ask whether it could be written it in a friendlier manner, suitable for those challenge walk organisers who give up a lot of their time for the enjoyment of others.
