Looking forward to another wonderful evening out on the trails, weather looks to be fairly good with a forecast of 13c and a Easterly wind of 5 mph. Only a 24% chance of rain which overall will make a very pleasant evening. I’m pretty sure it will not deter any of you and yet again we will see fantastic numbers in our groups so please come along and enjoy our social runs, there is a group to suit everyone.

Next week 19/5/21 WNS will take on a different look with Josh and Pete taking out groups on the Warren Hill XC course.
You may have read about the change of date of the next XC run in the newsletter, here is more information.
The new date will be Wednesday 19th May as part of our Wednesday night Striders run. Josh and Pete will take two groups of different speeds over the course. They will be a 9min mile group and a 10:30/11min mile group, give or take.
The course itself is 4.8 miles long, a course map is below. But from where we can park up (the red star) we will run a bit extra approximately 2.5 miles on top of this. Please park up at the Tiger Inn car park in East Dean and meet outside the pub on the green for 6:50pm for a 7pm set off. The address is; The Green, East Dean, Eastbourne BN20 0DA.
After we have ran we can have a social drink at the Tiger Inn. But for this Josh will need to know who plans to do this in advanced so he can book/let the pub know. So please reply to Josh via email or verbally if you catch in person if you wish to stay for a drink after. A few people have let us know already, so thank you to them.
Any other questions please feel free to ask.
Josh Nisbett XC Rep
