    Springton Manor & Summer Picnic/Meeting are just about a week away.  

    This map is a rare 1:5,000(!!!) map with 10 ft(???) contours.  (Easy on eyes for map details.)

    Below are the stats for the courses.

    Course Controls length climb   Intensity

    White 9 controls 1.9 km 60 m Pleasant family picturesque farmland stroll

    Yellow  12 controls 2.8 km 70 m Longer picturesque stroll with slight woods adventure

    Orange 14 controls 4.0 km 105 m 3/4 farmland with a pinch of wild woods adventure

    Brown 13 controls 3.6 km 70 m Advance skills ...Wet & Wild with minimal climb

    Green 14 controls 4.5 km 120 m Advance skills  ...Wet & Wild with extra bonus control

    Red 20 controls 6.2 km 150 m       Advance skills ... Get your monies worth in controls.

    The maps will be marked with off-limit areas where plantings have or will occur. These areas can only be crossed if no plantings can be seen or if the ground has not been plowed/planted.  Fenced in pastures are off limits and are also shown as off-limits.

    Remember to wear sun screen as all courses will spend a great proportion of the time sunbathing.  

    Looking forward to either a wonderful picnic/meeting afterwards or a mob lynching of the course setter. 

    My vote is for the prior!
