Ready for an adventure? 🧭
Take on our Spring Navigation Challenge and put your map skills to the test! 🗺️
(Hint: Ordnance Survey maps will be your best friend!) 🧹
Part 1: (Easy) 🚶♂️🚶♀️
Starting at Tom Brad’s Croft Car Park (by the rubbish bin), navigate your way to: 📍
- The Dipping Stones 💧
- River Goyt Footbridge (south of Hillbridge Woods) 🌉
- The Swan Inn, Kettleshulme 🍻
- Mediaeval Cross (remains) on Elnor Lane ✝️
- Bridge over Toddbrook at Kishfield 🌉
These locations are not in any order. Your task is to find the shortest route from the car park, visiting or passing each location, and returning back to the start. 🗺️
You can use any road, public right of way, or established path. 🛤️
Record your route (keep it private if uploading to Strava etc.). 📲
Send your claimed mileage to Chris Tetley 📬
You may be asked for proof – so make sure you record your activity on Strava, Garmin, a GPX file, or any system that tracks your distance. ✅
Part 2: (Advanced) 🏃♂️🏃♀️
As well as completing Part 1, your challenge is to visit specific Peak & Northern Footpaths Society (PNFS) signs! 🪧
Work out where they are.
Note the sign number and year. 📝
You can choose to do just Part 1, or combine Part 1 and Part 2 together for a bigger challenge. 🎯
Same rules: shortest distance wins! 📏
You can run or walk – time is not critical, only distance counts! ⏳
