Autumn Social - Burbage Village

Another informal/social MapRun, this time around Burbage on Wednesday December 6^th and repeated on Saturday December 9^th if you prefer a weekend date. Usual short, medium and long courses on a full quality O map that are as good as many of the regional urban events around. There is a cafe, two cake bakers that offer sit-in teas and coffees along with their cakes, plus 3 pubs all within 250m of the start and finish plus, of course, good company - all very Burbage! 

Start/Finish/Parking: Millennium Hall, Britannia Road, Burbage, LE10 2HF

Start times: on Weds 6^th are between 10.30 and 11.00 with slightly earlier times on Saturday 9^th at 09.30 until 10.00. The Saturday times are set to allow you to also run the LEI local event about 4 miles away at Fosse Meadows with starts there between 11.00 and 12.00. More truthfully perhaps, to allow me to run at Fosse Meadows having watched you all run for a couple of days.

Courses: Long - 6.0km, Medium 4.3km and Short at 2.4km. All are at least a third longer running distance - I ran just over 8.0 km when I test ran the long which is designed with some running legs before you have to engage brain. All roads are either 20 or 30 mph speed restricted.

Reserve a map: please email me at keith.willdig(at)btconnect.com  before November 29^th and say which date and course you want to run.

Cost is £3.00: payable in cash on the day, to cover map printing costs and club contribution to MapRun.

The courses will remain open for 6 months after the date and you will be able to download a map from the Go Orienteering website after the 9th. Downloading a map will cost £1.00.
