Summer League #10: Ballyannon Wood, Midleton TUESDAY JULY 16TH Event Info
Post date: Jul 12, 2019 12:50:9 PM
The final competitive event in the CorkO Summer League will take place at Ballyannon Wood in Midleton on Tuesday July 16th
Ballyannon Wood is a beautiful mature mixed woodland located at the end of Dyers Road in Midleton on the Owenacurra Esturary. It is a relatively small wood with a very extensive network of paths. The similarity between a number of these paths often causes confusion and one junction in the centre of the wood has six such paths off it. It might be beneficial to have a compass on hand to aid navigation and relocation!
Conrad and Aoife may have the Long Course Summer League Champion titles wrapped up but the remaining podium spots are still up for grabs.
