Rather pricey but it is for charity - there is a 50 in the Peak District starting in Sheffield on the 31st March - see www.will4adventure.com

You could start with A Coventry Way - 40 miles on footpaths, bridleways etc around Coventry. It's a marked long-distance trail on the local explorer maps and we organise a challenge event every year on the first weekend in September. Everyone welcome!!

No, I don't know of any - the closest to the midlands was the Wye forest 55 held last year but I think it is likely to only be every 3 years.

I would love to organise one, with themed checkpoints for example, chk pt 1 1 in a local balti, chk pt 2 in a chinese, chk pt 3 in a real ale pub, although would people make it round? The midlands has a lot to offer, with lots of potential for a long walk stretching over the sandwell valley, barr beacon, through sutton park and over towards lichfield, and would be great to get local communities involved, but what a lot of planning......

Was just wondering if any of you guys or girls know if there are any fifties in the midlands as cant seem to see any on the website. Thanks!!
