It's time to start thinking about filling those lovely long summer evenings with a 45 minute run followed by a sociable session in a nearby pub. Maybe you have a favourite area that you would like to map and a favourite pub you would like to share with other SOC members? Or maybe you would like to get to know some new corners of the SOC catchment area? If you are interested in creating a maprun or have any queries about it, please let me know on helenamandaaa [at] gmail.com (helenamandaaa[at]gmail[dot]com). Creating a MapRun from scratch is very simple and instructions are attached below. We plan to have a series of 7 MapRuns starting on 14th April and winding up on 20th July. As always we can't do this without your help. So whether you are new to MapRun or you have planned one before, please do think what you could offer this year.
