2024 Summer League #6

Summer League #6 Ballyannon Wood, Midleton Tuesday June 25th Event Info

The sixth event in the CorkO Summer League will take place at Ballyannon Wood in Midleton on Tuesday June 25th.

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!

Some of the paths are a little bumpy but overall the short course is buggy friendly.
