Darnick urban: 8/5/24

Parking: From the Tweedbank direction, turn off the roundabout at the new filling station towards Melrose, then just after the short dual carriageway turn right for Darnick and follow the road to the other end of the village. Park on the left side just after the last house, or turn right into Chiefswood Road and park on the right. This is a bus route, so don’t park too near the junction to allow buses to make the turn. Please park carefully at the roadside where shown on map. Coming from the east, follow the Melrose by-pass to the roundabout as above. 

Start times :  6:30 – 7pm.

Courses:  Sprint (Orange standard) and Yellow. Assembly and Download are on a patch of grass as shown on Parking map. The Start is the other side of Abbotsford Road, so juniors need to be accompanied crossing to the Start. Both courses cross this road later on where there is a ONE MINUTE time-out to allow crossing safely, so you have plenty of time to cross when it s safe. Don’t forget to punch the controls on BOTH sides of the road!

Both courses include other quiet roads, but any traffic should be slow moving – please take care.

The main roads are marked with a solid red line and are not to be crossed except at crossing points, but you can use an adjacent pavement.

Entry fees: Adult members £3, junior members £1. Adult non-members £4, junior non-members £1.50. Free timing chip hire.

Terrain:  urban/grassy parks, small area of woodland with paths.
