The 20th Hangover Hike
The Irregulars organise a walk or run based at The Leggers Inn, Mill Street East, Dewsbury, West Yorks. Participants may walk or run one of three circular routes. All routes converge at the main refreshment checkpoint so routes can be shortened or lengthened on the day.
- 10 miles (15 km)
- 17 miles (27 km)
- 21 miles (34 km)
Entry fees are listed for LDWA and non LDWA participants; children under 16 accompanied by an adult are free. Entry on the day is charged at a higher rate if places are available. Both LDWA and non LDWA walkers and runners are welcome. Under 18s must be LDWA members or walk with a parent or guardian; under 16s must walk with a parent or guardian. Dogs are allowed but must be under constant control.
Route descriptions, maps and GPX files are available to download from the LDWA website; the route has changed so entrants should download the updated information in December. Maps required are Explorer 278 and 288.
Entry includes tea and toast at registration, cold drinks and snacks at checkpoints and a finisher certificate. Participants should bring their own mug. Reasonably priced food and a selection of real ales are available at the Leggers Inn at the end of the walk.
As a winter event participants should carry adequate equipment, including waterproofs, warm clothing, suitable footwear, map, compass, whistle and torch. Participants who retire must do so at a checkpoint and marshals may withdraw participants if fitness is in doubt or if they fall behind schedule.
