In fact congratulations to everyone who got there.  I hope everybody made it home safely.  The promised 10mm arrived before the event, but another 30 or 40 during it, so I'm afraid some had a difficult journey home.  Sorry I left the M/W18s off my earlier post.  PG

The 4th race in the series gets underway on Thurs Feb 9th (** watch this space it may change).  As with the others it will start at 7pm from 68 Roebuck Road.  The checkpoints, to be visted in any order, are Sheff Wed, Sheff United and Hallam (Crosspool) football grounds - you just need to touch the boundary wall/fence.  Post race celebrations will be Fish & Chips from the top of the road and Beer from the Dram Shop brought back to my house - RSVP with an idea of food if you plan to do this so we can forewarn the chippy.

SYO's first REGIONAL event, possibly our main event, of the year is coming up VERY SHORTLY, on Feb 5th in fact. The event is on BIG MOOR AND THE EDGES planned by Mark Chapman so expect some challenging courses.

I would urge you all to PRE-ENTER as soon as possible.

The event centre is at Cliff College Calver as used for the Northern Champs in January 2010. The start is near Curbar Gap so we have organised a shuttle bus service to the Start/Finish for helpers and those who might find the 2k walk a bit tough. The White and Yellow (and String) courses will be in the grounds of Cliff College, specially mapped for the occasion by Peter Gorvett.
