The Area & Course
One of our summertime all-in-daylight series. The clubhouse provides direct access to a vast area of green countryside space. There is a rich network of paths & trails with a good dose of industrial heritage and some stunning views to be had too. The course will be different to the January edition and probably less muddy! (Sorry to disappoint!)
Always good to be in the countryside in this area. Lots of route choice and lots of undulating and (some) less undulating options at this one. Good running / walking on a mixture of underfoot conditions from a little tarmac to mostly off-road paths*. There will be something for everyone and even locals will likely discover new paths and places!
Hope you will come along and give it a go. *total absence of mud can not be guaranteed!
