Worcestershire Beacon Race on Saturday October 12th at 3PM

Hi,
Worcestershire Beacon Race on Saturday October 12th at 3PM. It's on the
Malvern Hills and while it's not a fell race, it contains a variety of
terrain including tarmac, grass, stony tracks and rocks. Very steep in
places both up and down. About 6.5 miles starting and finishing in Rose
Bank Gardens in Great Malvern.

Last year Mercia took the team prize (Jon Newey, Matt Scriven and Edmund Newey.)

See Worcester-ac.co.uk for more information.

Rectory Field, Church Stretton

rectory wood fence.jpg

For the occasion of the Fell Relay Championship last October we had permission to breach the fence at the top of Rectory Field.  Immediately after the race we reinstated it.

Since then the fence has fallen into some disrepair to the point where stock might have been tempted to have a go at jumping it.
