Welcome to my video of the LDWA (Long Distance Walkers Association) Malvern Midsummer Marathon held on the 25th June 2022. I took part in the 26 mile route (14 mile route also available) as a runner and took on the full Malvern ridge line. The route totals 4800ft of accent. The route starts and finishes at Wyche Primary School and heads north to Summer Hill and on to the highest point on the course, the Worcestershire Beacon (425m). After reaching the manned clip point on Table Hill and passing End Hill, the route drops to go through Cradley, and on to Ledbury at around half way. Once you head through Bromesberrow, the most southerly part of the course, it’s pretty much northwards all the way back. Passing over Chase End Hill, Ragged Stone Hill, Midsummer Hill, Swinyard Hill, Hangman’s Hill, Millennium Hill, Herefordshire Beacon (British Camp), Black Hill, Pinnacle Hill, Jubilee Hill, Perseverance Hill and finally down the Old Wyche Road to the finish. It was a brilliant day out with fantastic volunteers looking after everyone from start to finish. This is the third time I have run this event and look forward to it every year. I had a few problems with my navigation on my watch and also some of the audio is not the best but I’ve tried to work round that, so hopefully it’s still fun to watch. Please note: all distance markers in the video were rounded up/down. Here is a copy of the 2022 route description. Please bear in mind that part of the route is on private land and is only accessible on the day of the event. 14 mile route https://www.sportident.co.uk/client_docs/LDWAHeartofEngland/14MileRouteDescription.pdf 26 mile route https://www.sportident.co.uk/client_docs/LDWAHeartofEngland/26MileRouteDescription.pdf Any questions, please leave it in the comments.
