This course is situated in the Ravenswood area, to the SE of Ipswich. If driving to the area you can park at the Shoppers car park, in Hening Avenue, for up to 2 hours (please note that ANPR is in operation). The marked 'Start/Finish' is at the Propellor sculpture on the far side of the Ravenswood Common Play Area. The course is timed - you'll receive points for each control you visit, & have them deducted if you're over the time allowed!
Although it is a quiet residential area, with a 20mph speed limit operating on many roads, the course involves using shared space & various road crossings: caution is required & under 16s should be accompanied by an adult.
Please note - this course was first used for the MapRun Challenge on 24th May 2022, but the course will remain available for you to try in your own time if you were unable to join us on the evening of the Challenge.
