Find Your Way – Norton Common
The first of our free summer-holiday events for newcomers and beginners.
| Who is it for? | Anyone who fancies a walk or jog with a difference. The courses are entirely on the common so no roads are involved and are ideal for juniors. |
| When | Turn up to start between 10:00 – 11:30 on Saturday morning. The courses will close at 12:30. |
| Meeting Point & Parking |
Parking is available at the Bowling Club Car Park, Icknield Way, Letchworth Garden City SG6 4UF or the nearby Swimming Pool Car Park. Please note charges may apply.
The meeting point will be the bowling greens adjacent to the car park. It’s ten minutes walk from the town centre. |
| How it works | There are 3 courses available: Short ~1.5 km, Medium ~2.2km and Long ~3 km, you decide which you want to try.
We give you a paper map showing your course and your task is to navigate around the common, visiting the controls in the order marked. If you have a compass, it may be useful but it certainly won’t be necessary to bring one. You can go round singly, in pairs or as a group. If you wish, you can use the MapRun app on your smartphone to track your route, show you your current position and ping when you get to each control. It will also give you a time in the results once you’ve finished. |
| Instruction and Help | Help will be available with all aspects from our Club members – look for people in hi-viz jackets. |
