ROAD RUNS

ROAD RUN


***Easter 2020 Road Run***

Detail to be confirmed:

Meet at camp  for 10.30am leaving at 11.00am


We extend a warm welcome to you to join our road run. Unless there are impassable snowdrifts (6ft or over), we intend to 'patrol' along meandering byways, cheat almost certain death through a shallow ford, and risk sniper fire through an eerie wood. WARNING Anyone attempting this winding course along the high-ways & bi-ways in a large vehicle might be well advised to be prepared for 95-point turns, and carry their own provisions, as lunch waits for now man. (or Women) 


We will stop for lunch at 13.00hrs where we will be given a warm welcome, warm drink and a lunch will be provided. (Ashdown Military Club Members this will be paid for, guests will be charged a small fee)

Meet at 10.30am to leave for 11.00am Ashwdown Camp WR11 7PA.
