Endurance 80

High Wycombe Explorer Scout Unit

A fantastic well done to all the teams that took part in this year’s Endurance 80 competition. February is never very forgiving for the weather and the teams just took it all in their stride.

To those who assisted with the extremely valuable catering, a huge thank you for keeping the troops on their feet – literally!

Endurance80 is an 80 km endurance walk open to Explorer Scouts, Network Scouts, and adult members of The Scout Association.  

What route does Endurance80 follow?

In outline: the event starts at Great Missenden, moves east to just beyond Chesham, northwest through the Chilterns towards Tring, turning east at the village of Hastoe.  From there it goes through the wood to Kings Ash and on to Wendover, up Coombe Hill, past Chequers and down into Princes Risborough to the scout HQ.  From there it cuts across country to the Icknield Way at Chinnor which it follows almost to the M40.  Up Beacon Hill and from there to the scout HQ at Stokenchurch.  From there through Radnage and Prestwood to get back to Great Missenden.
