Beat the dark! Catch the Sunset! Sunset will be around 815pm and it will be dark from 845pm. Earlier starters will have the advantage of full daylight throughout! Wear hi-visibility clothing and bring a torch / head torch if you expect to be still out after 815pm!
Navigating with a specially prepared map, visit as many checkpoints as you can in the time available, S-punching using the MapRun app on your smartphone, Garmin or Apple Watch.
Explore some of Congleton (Hightown's) quiet streets before heading out into the beautiful surrounding countryside. With both hilly and less hilly options there is lots to explore. As well as navigating your way through the nearby streets, you might also enjoy sections of the Macclesfield Canal, the Biddulph Valley Way, and the Gritstone Trail as well as the rich network of paths on Congleton Edge itself. Even locals will likely discover new paths and places!
The Queens Head will provide a warm welcome with excellent Food & Drink available after your run / walk. Food options include the Totally Tenner Wednesday - Fish & Chips with a drink for £10!! The pub is child and dog friendly. A nice west facing outdoor beer garden area if the weather is kind - real fire inside if not!
With around 80 Spunchpoints to go for - how many will you bag?
