Longmynd Hike
The Long Mynd Hike (which in Welsh means Long Mountain) is a 50 mile competition hike open to anyone aged 18 or over which takes place over the first weekend of October every year. The hike follows a set figure-of-eight route over the rugged countryside of South Shropshire and the Welsh Marches, with about 8,000 feet (3,000 metres) of climbing and covering eight summits.'

NOTE especially that this is an example of a Challenge Hike: 'Q 'Can you give me a detailed route of the hike, or a GPS download for the route, and recommend which way to go? A No, part of the challenge of the hike is working it out for yourself from the map, or training in the area prior to the event. Providing you stick to public rights-of-way the choice is yours. We have provided you with the grid references of the checkpoints, the rest is up to you ...'
