Stange takes on the 'Offas Dyke' Challenge 2026
This was our 7th year taking on an epic challenge for charity. We headed to the beautiful hills of North Wales along the Offas Dyke Path. Starting off in the stunning town of Llangollen, we climbed up onto the hills high above the town and followed the Offas Dyke all the way along to Moel Arthur where we then descended down to Denbigh back to the Brookhouse Mill for a well deserved pint and home cooked chilli.
It was an epic day that started out nice and mild with shorts and tshirt at the ready and even some nice blue patches in the sky that soon changed towards the middle of the day with rain the size of golf balls and wind on top of Moel Famau! But the team is made of tough stuff and pushed through. Sadly a couple of slips ended a few of the walkers' day early but most of the group pushed hard and completed what turned out to be a 28(ish) mile day...so not only did they smash the day, they also completed their first ultra marathon!
This year we are supporting ‘The Butterfly Suite’ @ Arrowe Park Hospital (Wirral) as our chosen charity. The Butterfly Suite is part of the maternity ward and provides a quiet, private space for families facing the heartbreaking loss of a baby. This cause is incredibly close to our hearts. It has recently, and very personally, touched one of our pub’s general managers and their family. During an unimaginably difficult time, the kindness, compassion and gentle guidance shown by everyone at the unit helped a young family navigate their loss with dignity, care and understanding.
