We are planning ahead for the Sandstone Trail in the summer. The event has been renamed the Joe Beswick SSTC (Sandstone Trail Challenge) in honour of our dear friend Joe who passed a year ago. Joe was a stalwart of the club for 30+ years and the driving force in our coaching even in his later years. He loved the fells and trails more than anything.
Entries open 1 Feb at 8:00AM on the Nifty Entries site. Cost is £25 including coach travel to Whitchurch. Places for 125 walkers and 125 runners, cut off for the event is 10 hours.
Event date: Saturday 14 May
The event email is sandstonetrailchallenge@hotmail.com but everything you need will be on the website.
The family really appreciate the website posting here and the fantastic pictures you have uploaded in memory of my dad. He would be very proud to have the Sandstone Trail race named after him. The event was incredibly close to his heart. We are all very proud too. Thank you !
Absolutely, I second what Alan has said. To name this race after our Dad is really very special. Sandstone Trail was very close to Dad’s heart. Our sincere thanks to you for doing this. A wonderful tribute to the most incredible man, our Dad. Wahayyy xxx
Thank you Ali, we all have our own great Joe stories. It’s the least we could do!
Thank you Alan – our pleasure. Joe was a remarkable human, he did so much for the club (and all the other things he was interested in)!
Well done Helsby for doing this. Much deserved. Great to know Joe’s famous cheers will continue to echo down the trail for so many years to come.
What a lovely thing to do and such a great batch of photos.
A lasting tribute to Joe who dedicated time and effort to an activity he enjoyed. Thankyou.
