Trailblazers - Hampden Common 20th Sept 9:45am

20/9/2020

 
 Hampden Common 9.45am Park along lane next to cricket field just South of the Hampden Arms, HP16 9RQ

There would normally be no Trailblazers in September and we would all be enjoying the Shardeloes 10k. However since this could not be planned due to Covid-19 restrictions we have the opportunity of returning to Great Hampden again for an energetic scenic run.

This venue is about twenty minutes drive from Chesham, on the top of the Chilterns in peaceful rural country with spectacular views and hills! The courses follow part of the Ridgeway, with all the runs climbing Pulpit and Whiteleaf Hills but not Coombe Hill.

These are more testing courses than recent Trailblazers and the longest one should be undertaken with some caution.

There is the option of meeting afterwards for drinks at the Hampden Arms, a small country pub, nice to sit outside in good weather.

Route 1 (walk): 5.5 miles
Route 2: 8.1 miles
Route 3: 10 miles
Route 4: 11.5 miles (1594' climb)

Sunday 13th September - Run from Hervines Park, Amersham

13/9/2020

 
We are back at Amersham for this Sunday’s social run for the Seniors.

Starting from the car park at Hervines Park (HP6 5HU) at 9.30 am .

The options are 7.4 and 10.3 miles taking in circular routes out to Penn and back via Coleshill. Two pdf’s of the routes , one on a single sheet and the other on two sheets to a larger scale are on the web site.  

The routes are quite twisty in places and the larger scale is slightly easier to follow. Please print a copy in your preferred format for use on the day.

For those wishing to  use mobile devices to download the routes please note these routes are the same as A7 in the Runs library but in reverse !

With the continued lack of events these runs are a good way of do a decent length run in company.

As always we need to be responsible and observe all sensible Covid precautions and respect other users of the routes.
