Here's your chance to enjoy a new activity ... some C&Cers are joining together on these two dates:
Sunday 3rd January .... some orienteering coaching from Andy and Penny, and then a lunch from James and Inga. Meet at Sutton Park Visitors' Centre (about 300 metres inside the park from Town Gate) at 10.30am. After some initial instruction, there will be a walk to try out those new skills!
If you wish to join us, you need to let Andy & Penny know, so that we will have enough maps, and so that there will be enough food afterwards! Bring a compass if you have one.
Sunday 7th February ... a chance to try out those new skills at a well-organised orienteering event, at Blidworth near Mansfield. There will be courses planned with beginners in mind, and you can enter on the day. £8 adults includes hire of the required electronic ecard which you use at each control-point. £4.50 children, and there will be a free 'String Course' as well, suitable for ages 3 -9. Details at www.noc-uk.org.aspx Please let Andy and Penny know if you are thinking about coming, and we will make sure that you get detailed travel instructions, and we'll arrange to meet you in the carpark and lead you through the entry procedure!
Afterwards, if the weather is OK, climbers might like to try the pleasant limestone bouldering nearby at Pleasley Vale.
