Where:
The entrance to the area is on the Bourley Road. Immediately past where Wellesley Road and Bourley Road (coming from the right) merge, a concrete drive on your left leads onto the area.
On the day, markers will be leading up to the drive from the Wellington roundabout near Tesco. Closest postcode for Sat Nav would probably be Tesco in Aldershot, google it yourself.
We can collect from nearby public transport links, if asked nicely.

Entry limit is 110 runners across all distances with no weighting on any distance.
No entry forms needed. T & C will at registration HQ against which you sign.
This means that you will not receive any post from me, just find your name on the online list.
As we run a "not for profit" organisation, left over funds, after deduction off all costs and assessment of investments needed the following years (tents, stoves etc) will be donated our chosen charity.
The course:
A 10 mile loop, completed 3 x for the 30, 5 x for the 50 and 10 x for the 100 miles.
No roadcrossings, all trail. About half of the course is tree covered, the other half is heathland. Fully marked and first laps marshalling at crucial points and lightsticks in strategic places at night. There will be two checkpoints, one at the start and one at 5.6 miles.
Not for the faint hearted, we have measured the altitude rise and drop at 1520ft per lap, making the 100 15200ft in climb, see below altitude profile.
Course will be the same as the previous 2 yrs.
If you feel up to the 100 without any previous experience, entry is at my discretion.
What we provide, what you need to bring:
We provide the following; fully marked course, polo shirt with race logo, food and drink
(coffee, tea, coke, juice, water, stew, soup, potato wedges, jaffa cakes, flapjacks, bars, gels, jelly beans, pretzels, crisps, bananas, ricepudding, tinned fruit and whatever else looks edible we might find on the land),
my unsympaphetic attitude to those that whine and finally a range of unsuitable sad country music to make the weekend even more horrid.
Via sponsorship by Fitstuff, Guildford we offer the following prices: 1st Male/Female GBP40, 2nd Male Female GBP20, 3rd Male/Female GBP10. The prices are the same across both distances and are being awarded immediately upon finish of the runner, unless some irregularity has been raised during the run. The prices exists out of vouchers for Fitstuff in Guildford, not cash! This is for the 50 & 100 Miles only.
For course records in the 50 & 100 miles we offer you a free entry for the following year but only for the winner in each event.
What you need to bring; any specific food you prefer, sufficient clothing and shoes (a pair of Pegasus or Jazz will work fine).
For the midnight 30 you need a headtorch. For everyone who starts at 12 midday, you will need a headtorch heading into the night.
If you don't use one and hit the ground, such is life, don't cry or moan.
Support & crewing notes:
The course is closed for vehicles other than parking at the start where you can pitch a tent as well.
The second checkpoint can be reached from Beacon Hill Road where there is some space to park cars and crews can walk up to the checkpoint.
Maps on how to get there will be available at registration.
Buddies and pacers are allowed from 30 miles for the 50 milers and from 60 miles for the 100 milers.
Accomodation pre and post run, and places to eat:
The preferred choice of hotel is
Premier Travel Inn, less than 1 mile from the start, on the Wellington Roundabout, next to Tesco store.
Other hotels are the Falcon and the Hogs Back Hotel.
Aldershot is rubbish for food so for any decent meals you will need to travel to Farnham which has a Pizza Express, Cafe Uno, Cafe Rouge and various other delights.
Booking a table is recommended in all of these as they tend to get full.
