SOC Members Social – Wed 28 December 2022

By Helen Wheelwright , 18 December, 2022

Why not walk or run off those festive indulgences in the New Forest with fellow club members?

Meet at the FE Bramshaw Wood car park (GR SU257 172) at 11am for whatever exercise you prefer

(walk, slow or eyeballs out run!) in Bramshaw Woods or head directly to the Lamb Inn at 12 noon for a

festive drink. The Lamb Inn post code is SP5 2BP and there is parking opposite the pub.

Please note that the Bramshaw Wood car park is fairly small but there appears to be some laybys on the

approach to the car park and the car park opposite the pub does not seem to be owned by them.

There will be a number of old event maps available for those wishing to go for a walk or run.

If you have any queries to please contact julialoring18 [at] gmail.com (julialoring18[at]gmail[dot]com)

Thanks, Helen. I'm assuming the Lamb Inn is the one in Nomansland. Looking forward to it.

SOC Level D - Ashley Walk, New Forest

By Terry Smith , 10 December, 2022

Many thanks for coming to our Level D event today. The very cold weather seemed to take a toll on our old ecards with the result that we were unable to download some of them electronically. Thanks to those of you who took the advice to get a pin backup of your punches. That, combined with the efforts of our start and finish teams to capture your start and finish times enabled us to fill in the gaps with reasonable accuracy.

I hope that you enjoyed the forest. There was a beautiful hoar frost over the area while I hung a few controls before helping on download. It looked spectacular. TS
