SUMMARY:Gatliff Planning
DESCRIPTION:Autumn is upon us and so is the Gatliff Marathon: Gatliff – Croydon Outdoor Pursuits & Social Events Club. Together with the Weald Walkers Wander and the Southern Cycle Saunter\, the Gatliff Marathon is one of COPSE’s three public facing events. This gives us the opportunity to raise the profile of the club. The Gatliff Marathon was started in 1984 to celebrate the club’s 50th anniversary. It is named after Herbert Gatliff\, one of the founder members. This “one-off” event have been going for 41 years. This is the 41st Gatliff Marathon which has run every year\, except 2020. There are two routes\, 50k and 25k\, mostly on footpaths and bridleways across Kent\, Surrey and East Sussex. The routes go south this year towards Ashdown Forest and Winnie the Pooh country near Hartfield\, with the opportunity to visit Pooh Sticks Bridge. The objective is to complete the route within 10 hours. Participants get a certificate on completion. \nEntries are just over 140 participants. We would love to get over 200 people on the day. Please do like and repost our Facebook: COPSE Croydon Outdoor Pursuits and Social Events Club | Facebook post. We will have more Gatliff Marathon posters and flyers for you to take away to give to friends\, neighbours\, the local Park Run\, Running Club etc. Surplus funds from the event goes back into club funds to pay for the rent on the South Croydon hall etc. \nThe Gatliff is a major logistical exercise in both people\, around 45 marshals\, and in terms of equipment. Like going on holiday\, we have got to the packing phase for the Gatliff Marathon. This will come apparent if you come along on Tuesday evening. The evening will be hands on\, including packing supplies for the event and writing out check-cards. \nDo come along to find out more about the event; to finalise plans and we will attempt to answer any questions you may have. You can get an advance copy of the route instructions as well if you are taking part. Do join Ken’s 25k team. \nYou can see Bob C and renew your subs as well. \nRefreshments from 20:15\, with a 20:30 start. We need volunteers to bring equipment down from the storeroom and in from cars. Any spare cardboard boxes are useful as well\, though I have some. \nWe look forward to seeing you. \nMargaret

SUMMARY:Capital Ring Walk\, Section 3: Grove Park to Crystal Palace
DESCRIPTION:Continuing to be inspired by Paul’s assault on the Loop\, and encouraged by the enthusiastic turnout for Parts 1 and 2\, I’m continuing the Capital Ring circuit. Click on the map for full details of what the Capital Ring is. \n \nThis leg is about 8 miles and includes parts of Beckenham Place Park and a meetup with some fellow dinosaurs at Crystal Palace Park. \nThere are plenty of feeding and toilet opportunities along the way\, and a good lunch option at the Homestead Cafe in Beckenham Place. \nWe finish at Crystal Palace Station\, which has rail links to West Croydon (direct) and East Croydon (via Norwood Junction) as well as lots of buses. \nJoining Opportunities\nDue to track works etc the usual rail route to Grove Park via London Bridge would take over 1½ hours and involve a Rail Replacement Bus 😱. So we’ll catch the SuperLoop 5 to Bromley and the 261 to Grove Park. \n\n\n\nDingwall Road Bus Stop (outside East Croydon station) from 10.15 to catch the 10.26 SuperLoop 5 to Bromley North.\nhttps://w3w.co/urgent.orders.fight\nMarvels Lane\, Grove Park\, where this leg of the Ring starts\, from our scheduled arrival at 11.18\nhttps://w3w.co/wheels.groom.spits\n\n\n\nContact\nKen on 07921 258876
