Overnight PLOD walks

PLODs are the ultimate team walking challenges. At around 40 miles, a PLOD is not a casual walk in the park. They are long strenuous events through the night requiring team work, stamina and coordination. We now have six fantastic PLOD events across the UK. Have you got what it takes to complete a PLOD?
