Cholesbury Common

This month’s Trailblazers is close to home base so we do not need to travel too far after the Covid-19 lockdown.

We have not been here for almost two years but this venue will be familiar to many and this time the relatively flat
courses are East of Cholesbury going through Orchard Leigh, Ashley Green and Rossway.

We can meet for a drink afterwards at the Full Moon pub, which is open again and has a large outdoor garden. Food is being served.

(park on the edge of the common near the Full Moon Pub HP5 2UH but not in or close to the pub car park)

NB these routes can be used at other start times

Route 1: 5.1 miles (walkers)
Route 2: 7.8 miles (short run)
Route 3: 9.8 miles (medium run)
Route 4: 12.5 miles (long run with 800' climb/descent)

After what seems like an age we are cautiously restarting the Sunday social  runs for Seniors.

This Sunday the run will start from the car park at the Moor, Chesham  HP5 1SE.

Numbers in the immediate past have tended to fall within the Government guidelines for groups not exceeding 6 but in case we do get a surge in numbers  it is suggested that the faster runners meet at 9.15am and a slower group at 9.30am  Hopefully in this way the groups will not become intermingled. In the unlikely event the numbers exceed 12 we will have to stagger the starts still further.

Attached is a pdf for the route which has options on 7.65 and 10.0 miles on circuits of Chesham. Please familiarise yourself and/or print a copy for use on the day

The routes are also in the Route maps library on the web site reference C4 ( Tour de Chesham) in PDF, OS Links and GPX formats – the latter being downloadable to mobile devices.

Runners are asked to follow the Government guidelines on distancing etc and to be responsible and considerate  when passing other users on the route paths.
