Coaching tips
On the yellow and orange courses, careful map reading is required. Always set your map at each junction to make sure that you chose the correct route.
Light green, green and blue will be tested for their speed of navigation. Much of the ground is very runnable - read your contour shapes carefully and then go for it!
Lynne will be there so you can ask advice before your run or discuss your performance afterwards, while munching on Briony’s cakes! Remember your Star Cards and also write up your progress on the Record Sheets.
