Next event and coaching

Next event is on Sunday 5th August on the TOPEC map using the course that Jason set last year but we had to cancel because of bad weather and access issues.
Start from Meeting of Waters carpark.

COACHING
Jacqui will have some coaching tips printed out for those interested, which we can discuss and then practice out on the course. Come along early so you have time to absorb the information and then go out on the course. I'll be there from 11am

• The Basics (distance, pace, magnetic north, safety bearing, course closure and how to use a compass to run on a bearing).
• All about Handrails

More coaching tips to follow at other events

Barrett Results 1 July 2018

Well, hope you have dried out now.  Good event, but mighty dark in the forest - I had to keep dashing out to the open when I was picking up controls!!
Win splits are HERE. Thanks for your patience at the beginning while we wrangled the new system into line.
