Pre Event Info

Directions / Parking

Parking is limited so it would be best to use the Silk Mills Park and Ride opposite. Juniors will need to be escorted across the A3065 Silk Mills Road.

Course Information

The usual hare, squirrel and badger courses in this lovely small wooded park.  The Fox course extends out into the village before another loop in the park.  The longer courses make use of the wooded areas away from the main paths.

Junior courses (Badger, Squirrel and Hare) are within the Netherclay woods which is flanked by the River Tone. Controls are placed away from the bank. The footbridge over the river is closed and out of bounds.

Entry Details

• Entry - £3 per person pre-entered or £4 per person on the day
• Dibber hire - Free (but if lost you would be liable for the replacement cost of £30)

Please note that pre-entries close at midnight the Tuesday before as we need to know entry numbers for map printing purposes. Entry on the day will be available but there will be limited map numbers so pre-entry is strongly advised to avoid disappointment.

Pre-Entries

Please consider buying a pack of pre-entry credits in advance. This costs you the same but saves the club a lot in credit card fees.
