PLOD is the ultimate team endurance walking challenge. If you are looking for adventure, have decided it’s time to live life to the full, or just want to do something different in 2012, then this is the event for you!
PLOD is not for the faint hearted or the ill-prepared, and we have designed a gruelling course that will probably push you further than you have ever been pushed before. This 40-mile trek gets under way at midnight on Friday 13 July by torchlight, near Reading Berkshire, and follows the beautiful Chiltern Way. After watching the sunrise, you will walk across two counties and have a fantastic view across the Goring Gap which separates two ranges of Chalk Hills - the Chilterns and the Wessex Downs. You will then take on the highest villages in the Chilterns reaching 740 feet. This is not to be missed!
Perfect for groups, friends or work colleagues. Companies looking to develop team bonding will benefit, and for those seeking an out-and-out challenge against their competitors, this event will deliver on all fronts.
We are all about pushing you to the limit. Join us to improve the quality of life for thousands of sick and vulnerable babies and children. We are able to achieve our goals by helping you achieve yours.
