For anyone interested in having a go at Trailquesting, the first event in the MTQ Autumn series is at Suckley, Worcestershire on Sunday, August 22nd.
There's a guide to trailquesting on the [url= http://www.midlandtrailquests.co.uk/index.php ]MTQ website[/url] but, to put it briefly, you turn up at a village hall on a Sunday morning, you get given a map of the surrounding area with 30 or so control points marked on it, you then visit as many as possible and return within three hours.
You don't need to be an expert map reader. As long as you can work out where you are and where you want to be on an OS map, and make a realistic estimate of how long it will take to ride there, you'll be fine.
It's on tomorrow.

You can enter on the day, but you'll need to register and get get a membership number first, which is free.
Thanks for that. May well pop along.
