This week:
Long race at Brownhills Common, organised by John Robinson.

Venue is corner of Coppice lane  ref 055058 access from A452 Brownhills road. Park in the dead end section, look for grey VW van.
Format, one short course 14/15 controls about 3k or less depending on route finding. (short due to limited daylight.)
Map interpretation and navigation practice.
Area: low lying mainly secondary woodland, a lot of ponds and some very marshy areas (planned to keep you out of the worst bits).   It’s been very dry lately (I didn’t get my shoes damp on the last visit ) but typically this week looks wetter.
NB watch out for the local deer, they are enormous!
Possibility of Maprun (working on it!) but tape as well or instead.
