50ish Spunchpoints to choose from, spread out in countryside immediately accessible from the pub. 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 undulating 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!
Visit as many checkpoints as you can in the time available, S-punching using the MapRun app on your smartphone, Garmin or Apple Watch.
Will your route take in the Kerridge Ridge and the White Nancy? It would be rude not to!
Great local nav training for your next mountain marathon! Or make a weekend of it with the New Chew the following day (also on SiEntries).
Hope you will come along!
