2017/18 Hampshire Cross Country League #3 - Event Info

20/11/2017

0 Comments

 
Race number 3 in the 2017/18 Hampshire Cross Country League season moves on to Popham Airfield near Basingstoke on Saturday the 2nd of December 2017.

As always, the U20/Senior/Vets Women's race starts at 13.35 and the U20/Senior/Vets Men's race starts at 14.30.

Directions on how to get there and the event information are as follows:
Sat Nav destination - Postcode: SO21 3BD (Note: This postcode covers a large area so follow the directions given below as you approach the airfield.)
OS Grid Reference: SU529439

Directions from Winchester (M3 J9)
Take the A34 northbound. Turn right on the A303 eastbound towards Basingstoke (Bullington Cross). Discount one very small road on the left (to Norton), continue to the second main exit marked with countdown boards, signed Micheldever Station and Overton. Drop down the slip road, and at the end go straight on as as if rejoining the A303 towards Basingstoke (this requires a little wiggle right and left) but the slip road is now signposted Popham Airfield. You will see the brick and iron gates of the airfield on the left, just 100 metres before rejoining the A303.
When entering the airfield vehicles should bear left to the course, following the signs. Parking will be arranged on a large area of hardstanding at the top end of the Airfield and there will be marshals to organise this.

Portaloos have been hired in and will be situated near the Start / Finish Area.

Course maps
 can be downloaded. The running surface is mainly good grassland although there are some rougher areas. Although not steep, there are some long uphill sections on each lap.

Refreshments will be available from an outlet brought in by the owners of the Airfield.

Please note a very good relationship has been formed with the owners of the Airfield and to make sure that this is maintained please do not to stray onto the Air Strip. PLEASE DO NOT GO ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WOODEN FENCE AWAY FROM THE RUNNING AREA.

Also do not stray farther into the Woods as these belong to another Land Owner and are out of bounds.

PLEASE NOTE: A condition of us having use of the Airfield is that all dogs must be on a lead at all times.

The area previously used as the Tented Area is now enclosed by a high fence and is a Drone Training area. The new Tented area will be in the middle of the course but away from the Model Plane Flying area which must not be crossed.

Please make sure you drive carefully on leaving via the one way system out of the Airfield and rejoining the A303. Also when leaving the Car Park, please give way to traffic leaving the Aerodrome Buildings coming from the left.

Hoping you have a good day!
