50ish Spunchpoints to choose from, spread out in countryside immediately accessible from the Community Hall. You will find lots of route choice on a brilliant network of paths, tracks and minor lanes. The area of about 9 sq km offers both modest "around the top" options and more challenging hillier options over a wider area for those who prefer a longer outing up to 2 hours. 2k to 22k, the choice is yours! Great local nav training for the OMM or your next mountain marathon!
Visit as many checkpoints as you can in the time available, S-punching using the MapRun app on your smartphone or Garmin.
Will your route take in Mow Cop Castle and the Old Man of Mow? It would be rude not to!
Hope you will come along!
