Zoom Social on Mountain Marathons Thursday 18th Feb 20:00

John will be giving us a talk on his experience competing in Mountain Marathons this Thursday 18th Feb 20:00.

Same meeting details as last time. Accessible on this members page (log in right hand side) here: https://socweb.org/zoom

It should be a really good evening, especially hearing about the challenges of mountain marathons from the comfort of our homes! For those who don't know, mountain marathons are usually a two day event with a mix of orienteering, fell running and a camp overnight. Orienteering can take us lots of different places and mountain marathons are one area where we can definitely use our skills. If you've done one yourself, bring a map or a tale for the chat after. 

Last social, Helen showed us how to use the Running Wild tool for route choice decision making and practice. Tamsin and I have added a couple more SOC ones for you to have a go at: Bramshaw (using route choices from the course planning competition), Rusland Beeches in the Lakes (technical) and a Southampton urban course.
