Town End NiteNav
Results (Corrected)
After decades of NiteNavs, finding a new
location has become increasingly difficult, as has the availability
of free parking these days. During Covid I came across St Hilda’s
church and originally had it mind to use it as a DayNav starting
point hopefully when the bluebells were in flower. Though I never
got the opportunity to use it as a DayNav, which would have included
local features like the Buckingham Stone and the Ship Stone. Click

Smelly Helly Strava Club Created
I have created a new Smelly Helly Club on
Strava as I know that many of you use Strava. I have made it a
closed 'invite only' club so it can remain accessible by only
ourselves. We can share our runs, bike rides and NiteNav routes.
Here is the link; -
