Shrewsbury MapRun
Attached is the map for the second of the summer MapRun series.
This course is based in the Castlefields area of Shrewsbury, and once again in a 60-minute score format. Controls are generally on obvious ground features such as path or road junctions etc, but descriptions are included on the map in case of doubt.

MapRun Update Schedule
The first of this summer's series of MapRun courses is now available for you to run. It's a 60-minute score course based in Wellington, with the start and finish in the car park opposite the civic centre. All the controls are postboxes, other than no. 2 which is a mail bag box (so all mail-related!).
The map is available to download from the MapRun page on the club web site. To find the course on MapRunF, look in the "Summer 2020 Series" folder within the Wrekin and Shropshire folder. It's called "Wellington PostboxPlus 2020".
The access code for this course is 9602
The rest of the series is looking like this...
10 July Shrewsbury
17 July Bridgnorth
24 July Church Stretton
31 July Newport
7 August Shifnal
14 August Oakengates
21 August Carding Mill Valley

MapRun Update
The first of the planned series of MapRun courses will be published on the MapRun server on Friday 3 July, and is based in Wellington. The start/finish is close to the civic centre where there is ample parking available.
It's a 60-minute score course; all the controls are postboxes, except no. 2 which is a mail bag box (so all mail-related!).
As normal with this series, all runs are at your own risk, and please observe social distancing requirements.
Just a small clarification following a question I was asked yesterday - the finish is at the same place as the start. So you need to return to the start/finish and the app will then stop the timer.

Virtual orienteering courses for lockdown
While we can't provide our usual summer series of evening events, we will be making available some "virtual courses" that you can run using the MapRunF app on your smartphone (either Apple iPhone or Android).
To get you started we have re-created two of Richard Lewis's winter street score courses for MapRun, at Oakengates and Shifnal. You can download PDF maps to print out [links here]
These will be followed soon by a weekly series of Street-O courses using mostly postboxes as control sites (and hopefully at least one "traditional" map as well!). Look out for more information soon.
For a guide to getting started with the MapRunF app, please see: http://wmoa.org.uk/wp/getting-started-with-maprun-for-participants/
Important note: runs on these courses are not covered by British Orienteering insurance, so are AT YOUR OWN RISK (just as if you were going for a run from your front door!). Neither British Orienteering or Wrekin Orienteers accepts any liability for your use of the course or map. Please go safely.
Also because of this, these courses do not form an officially competitive series. While you will be able to see how you and others got on, there are no prizes, just your own satisfaction.
