Our "night-time" no-mud* Street Spunch Series will conclude with our first excursion into Shropshire! This time in and around the attractive market town of Whitchurch.
Within 30 mins from M6 J16 it is reasonably convenient for the Potteries & Newcastle-under-Lyme and very handy for the surrounding area including Crewe, Nantwich , Tarporley, Wrexham, Malpas, Ellesmere, Wem, Shrewsbury, Market Drayton and Audlem etc.

Great for families and friends to do together. Suitable for all ages and abilities - lots of help available for newcomers. Dogs are welcome, but must be kept on a lead and under control at all times.
Start at your convenience anytime between 530pm & 730pm. (Last start for 90min course 715pm, last start for 120min course 645pm). Registration open from 530pm. Wear hi-visibility clothing and bring a torch / head torch!
Beat the dark! Catch the Sunset! Sunset will be around 630pm and it will be dark from 7pm. Earlier starters will have the advantage of at least some daylight!
Navigating with an enhanced and simplified 1:10,500 OO street map, visit as many checkpoints as you can in the time available, S-punching using the MapRun app on your smartphone, Garmin or Apple Watch.
Explore the town's quiet streets, snickets and some off-road trails through local green spaces. Not a hilly one this and lots to explore. As well as finding your way around the town centre, you might also visit Jubilee Park, or the southern end of the Sandstone Trail around Staggs Brook and Waterway Park. Maybe a section of the old railway line on Hatton Way? Even locals will likely discover new paths and places!
The Wheatsheaf Hotel will provide a warm welcome with excellent Food & Drink available after your run / walk. The pub is child friendly.
With around 80 Spunchpoints to go for - how many will you bag?
Convenient and inexpensive town centre car parking all within 5 mins walk (60p per hour. FREE after 6pm)
Catch the Spunch Train. Whitchurch train station is less than 1k flat walk from the Wheatsheaf, and it is well served by trains from Crewe, Nantwich and Shrewsbury .
Hope you will come along and give it a go.
