Bill organised our winter score event this year.
For anyone who has never done a score event, it consists of navigating yourself to as many checkpoints as possible, in any order, and then getting back to the start/finish within the time limit, in this case three hours. When you start you will be given a map with the location of the checkpoints marked on it. Since you can decide how far you are going to go in 3 hours, and get to as many or as few checkpoints as you feel capable of, it is an event that is equally suitable to runners of all standards. You don't need to be out for the full three hours if you don't want to - just go out for as long as you want. There will be hot food for when you finish. It's a great, friendly, low-key event and ideal for practising a bit of navigation. It will cost £5 (including the food and pre-marked map) and you can start at any time between 09:30 and 10:30 (everyone starts at a different time). Please let Bill know beforehand if you are intending to take part, so that he knows how many maps and how much food to do.
