what3words: baths.bulldozer.relief We won’t put an O sign from the A358 BUT if you are going out of Taunton turn right to follow the brown Mount Somerset Hotel signs, go past the hotel and follow the O sign at the next junction.
It might be a little “tight”.
Limited parking is available in the public car park adjacent to registration.
If you have to park on the road, please pull onto the verge as far as you can.
Cater from beginners through to a good club standard. We call the courses Hare, Squirrel, Badger and Fox and these offer a clear progression in the difficulty level. Fox course incorporates adult training exercises.
Henlade Hill might be a new area for some of you but if you are doing the Fox you will know the area intimately by the end of it!
£1 per head for everyone (whether a member or not).
Second runs are an additional £1.
