Wealden Waters Walk
    
This 100k circular walk was a Kent Group staple event offered eighteen times between 1981 and 2003. Thanks to Keith Warman, results are available here for fifteen of those years, plus one (2000) when it had to be cancelled because of flooding. Information about the missing years (1986, 1987 and either 1999 or 2001) would be greatly appreciated.
