Cardingmil Valley Summer Evening Event Update

21/8/2017

This weeks Tuesday evenings event is at Cardingmill Valley. Thank you to The National Trust for once again allowing us to use the area.

Starts will be available from 6pm this week.
This is because there are night road closures from 8:00pm on the A49 between Leebotwood and Longnor, so if you are heading north on the A49 towards Shrewsbury after your run, this will affect you, if it is after 8:00pm.
So please turn up early and there should be plenty of time to run and get back up the road before it is closed.

Please park in the lower car park (The higher car park will be locked early) and walk on up towards the top car park where Sharron and Clive will be for registration/start and finish.

The National Trust ecologist Andy has asked of us that we do not walk/run through any of the wet, marshy areas. So please go around if you come across any of these.

Thank you to Pete who has produced for us a larger map of the Cardingmill area.
