Hmmm this pictue "might" be a clue


The Festive Frolic Navigation Challenge starts in Chelmsford Essex. The 30-mile route will consist of three looped courses with the option to cover 3 different distances via some delightful Essex countryside (Note all distances are approx. and really depends on how well you can read a map) 

This isn't your usual "race". There will be no route directions to blame for your bonus miles, only you! 

If you normally carry a map but it doesn't come out of your pack, I'd get practicing...

GPS usage is allowed but I've no idea how this would be an advantage anyway!

Get a grid reference, pick a route, run as fast as you can!
