For the 42nd edition of the South Shropshire Circular we will be visiting the true south of the county The event will start and finish at Clee Village Hall (Ludlow Road, Clee Hill, SY8 3NZ, GR SO 591 753). There is no parking at the hall but you will be directed to parking on common land no more than 10 minutes walk from the hall (no charge).
A challenging 27 mile route with 5000ft of ascent over scenic and testing countryside. As is traditional the route will be undisclosed until the day of the event when you will be given a clear and accurate route description. There is a 10 hour time limit. A short route may be applied if necessary.
We will welcome you in the hall from 06:45 for registration, a simple breakfast and issue of the Route Description. The route will be divided into 4 legs with 3 serviced check points providing refreshments. The route description will provide the grid references of each checkpoint and a reliable indication of the best line between these. Please be aware the route description is written to be used in conjunction with OS Explorer Sheet 203 (Ludlow) at 1:25 000.
There will be a briefing at 07:55 and a mass start at 08:00. A hot meal, endless tea and a fine certificate will greet your return to Clee Hill.
