The Gibbet Hangover

“A brilliant way to start the year!”

Kick off your post-Xmas recovery with the Gibbet Hangover!

The Hangover is a 10 mile(ish) wander around the beautiful countryside of Inkpen and Combe on the first Saturday in January. The route takes in Walbury Hill, Combe Gibbet, and the Test Way, with a good mix of road and off-road (footpaths and bridleways), and a couple of decent climbs. We also have a shorter route of 5 miles or so for anybody who doesn’t fancy the full distance.

  • Short route: ~5.5 miles
  • Date: First Saturday in January
  • Start/Finish: Crown & Garter Pub, Inkpen (RG17 9QR)
  • Entry: Free - informal gathering, not a formal race
  • Prize: A pint of beer for the first finisher
  • Course record: 1 hr 10 mins - Tom Llewellyn, 2026
