WENSLEYDALE WANDER Sat 14th April (22ish miles)
Instead of another lap around London this year Mark Garrett has chosen some events from the Long Distance Walkers Association website. These can be run or walked and are generally really nice, well organised, friendly, low key events.
Mark Garrett    3-35 (no chip timing here)
Wensleydale                                        or London
300                                                      or 30,000 entrants
Crowds           or lots of sheep                                     thousands
Scenery: Hills and dales                                    tarmac and buildings
Obstacles: Stiles, gates, streams                           or getting to the start, queuing for loos
Hazards:           Sheep shit, snow, barbed wire or gel wrappers, wombles, earache
Prizes:              Chilli and apple pie and cream or another window cleaning cloth
Conclusion
Both are great events in their own ways however it is definitely easier to clean your trainers after London
