I am fundraising in the memory of my grandmother Beryl (aka. Nana /Beryl the peril) , much loved and missed wife to John, mother to Ian , Stuart, Roy and June. Grandmother to Ashley, Jamie and Luke . Ovacome is a cause that was very significant for her in recent years and we know she would appreciate your assistance to bring support to others suffering as she did. Thank you from all of us who owe her such a debt of gratitude for her humour, support and comfort over the years.

More about Tour de Trigs

The toughest non-stop cross country navigation exercise in and around North Oxfordshire, South Warwickshire and South Northampton

The Tour de Trigs is held during the first weekend of December, giving walkers a maximum of about 9 hours of daylight within the 24 hours available, however the faster teams may have as little as 4 or 5. The route avoids roads wherever possible, taking competitors along footpaths, bridleways and little used country lanes. The pretty rolling countryside around Banbury is not generally seen as being particularly difficult for walking, however with ploughed fields, flooded ground near streams, darkness and perhaps rain or fog to contend with, not to mention the 50 miles distance and only a set of map references to navigate by, it becomes a major challenge.
