Team details

Frikandellen Snipers (4 men)

  • Leg 1    Meriden to Kenilworth – Steve Tiltman
  • Leg 2    Kenilworth to Wolston – Paul Meigh
  • Leg 3    Wolston to Bedworth – Patrick Richards
  • Leg 4    Bedworth to Meriden – Mark Bailey

Frikandellen Snipers? It’s a spin-off from a hugely successful corporate hill walking team name, Sausages With Attitude (SWAT) – 16 years in the making and now ensconced in the history books. However, as a spin-off team with a new member we thought it fit not only to stick with the ‘sausage’ diversion but create an all new eye-catching flavour – alas the Dutch inspired name was born!
As for ‘Snipers’ well, this simply characterises how we like to operate … under the radar and with precision.
Fun apart we all throughly enjoyed the day. It was well-organised with competitors fully catered for. Personally, none of us would have any hesitation in recommending ACW to anyone looking for a serious but fun long distance challenge.
To achieve overall 4th place and winning the relay category was an unexpected but very pleasant surprise. Hopefully others will feel inspired to try for top spot.
Many thanks all involved and congratulations to the other eventers for their efforts.

Kenilworth Runners Relay (4 men)

  • Leg 1    Meriden to Kenilworth – John Woodrow
  • Leg 2    Kenilworth to Wolston – Aiden Keher
  • Leg 3    Wolston to Bedworth – Stan Alexander
  • Leg 4    Bedworth to Meriden – Richard Hicks

A most enjoyable day with great camaraderie between participants, would thoroughly recommend it. Please accept a big “Thank You” from everyone in our team & congratulations on a superb event.

Cheney Chasers (1 man and 4 women)

  • Leg 1    Meriden to Stoneleigh – Fred Heath
  • Leg 2    Stoneleigh to Bretford – Fred Heath and Debbie Suffolk/li>
  • Leg 3    Bretford to Bedworth – Jane Lea and Jane Chilton
  • Leg 4    Bedworth to Meriden – Jane Lea and Paula Bailey

All the team are close to or past our 50th birthdays. We met when we were all running competitively for Nuneaton Harriers many years ago but since age and injuries have diverted us on to different paths (cycling, canoeing, triathlon) the main opportunity for us all to meet is for a coffee at Sutton Cheney Wharf Cafe on Sunday mornings, Hence the team name.
We all enjoyed the day even though Debbie had a nasty fall and bruised her shoulder. At least none of us got lost on the Challenge day. On a recce from Bretford Jane C and Jane L took the wrong path and ended up in Brandon. Our excuse was there was a car parked in front of the true path.
Thanks for a great day.

74th Coventry Scouts (4 boys, 1 girl and some adults)

  • Leg 1    Meriden to Brinklow – David Clarke
  • Leg 2    Brinklow to Bedworth – Sean Walton
  • Leg 3    Bedworth to Breach Oak – Ben Skuqi & Eddy Zleh
  • Leg 4    Breach Oak to Corley Moor – Becky Bonney
  • Leg 5    Corley Moor to Meriden – Sean, Ben, Eddy and Becky

For each leg the young scouts were accompanied by a senior scout or a parent, with some of the adults covering two legs.
Each leg started at about the time the checkpoint opened and before the previous leg was completed. The elapsed time is calculated by adding the times for each leg.

King Henry VIII Fm 8HL (8 boys, 1 girl)

  • Leg 1    Meriden to Kenilworth – Stephen Hickingbotham and Theo Bratton
  • Leg 2a    Kenilworth to Stoneleigh Rd lay-by – Adam Duffy

  • Leg 5    Brinklow to Bedworth – Tom Meynell

  • Leg 7    Breach Oak to Corley – Theo Brattan
  • Leg 8    Corley to Meriden – Stephen Hickingbotham, Syrus Cripps, Theo Bratton and Tom Meynell

The relay team raised money for the school’s Wateraid Project. Wateraid help improve sanitation and water access in the poorest parts of the world. We increased the school’s total significantly which is fantastic. The kids really engaged in the whole project. I would be very surprised if we did not have another relay team next year!

  • Leg 4    Bedworth to Meriden – Rob Chapleo + Jane Kocan-Payne and husband

We raised money for CRUSE charity in memory of a Warwick District Council work colleague Alison Pitt.
Thank you for organising this annual event which I’m sure we will take part in next year and improve our time.

  • Leg 1    Meriden to Kenilworth
  • Leg 2    Kenilworth to Wolston

Fizzy Grapes? Our relay baton was going to be a small bottle of champagne but in the end it was some other fizzy alcohol which we tried to spray and then drank at the end. Great fun.
Thank you we had a great time.
