MapRun Meet: Cranbrook
Sunday 16th August 9.00am
Steve Perrelle is organising a Maprun meet this Sunday 16th August at 09:00am using the Cranbrook area. If you fancy a trip to an area you might not know well to test out the course yourselves then it would be great to see you.
Meet at the Railway Station Car Park EX5 3BA ( not good for sat navs).
Steve will be there from 9.00 a.m. He can bring along printed maps for anyone who is unable to print off their own from the link above. If you haven't tried MapRun before we can also give you a few tips to get you started.
Please email us: if you would like to come along. If more than a few people contact us we may have to stagger arrivals to stay within current guidelines but that shouldn't be a problem.
This is a 60 minute Odds and Evens Score course around Cranbrook.
Details are available here and additional information below: Cranbrook Maprun.

MapRun: Haytor
Maprun Meet: Sunday 2nd August 09.30
Report 3.8.20: An almost perfect morning up at Haytor for the latest map run meet up on Sunday.
Although there were almost 40 runners out during the period the venue was big enough so it never seemed overly busy and the warden from the National park was quite happy when he came over for a chat !
Congratulations to all...... but especially the hardy three who managed to get round them all with some time to spare despite two controls being down in the head high bracken.... I clearly need to do something harder to ensure you don't make it in the future.
The technology is "interesting" . Firstly thanks to Matt A for sorting out so many of you and getting it working on what was for many of you new phones.
For the vast majority the system worked perfectly and you could forget your phone and just go Orienteering. There were still a few people with issues which is a shame especially as the answers are far from clear.
It looks like we are having a weeks break but will be back in the future with more to test your brains including some on Dartmoor. Full details will be posted in the previous week and will also be on the website. Steve
