Lt Colonel Paul Macro, a serving officer and West Felton Branch member is taking part in this year's LongMynd50 competitive hike on the 6th/7th October 2012. The hike follows a set figure-of-eight route over the rugged countryside of South Shropshire and the Welsh Marches, with about 8,000 feet of climbing covering eight summits.
Paul’s chosen charity is the West Felton Poppy Appeal.
