Yesterday was the first SOC street event of the year. Courtesy of Colin Hicks there was an hour’s score event starting at The Crown in Highfield, Southampton. There was a fairly obvious loop collecting in the high scoring controls in Swaythling which meant most people set off in the same direction. Having crossed back over the river it was then time to see how many of the remaining controls could be picked up on the way back to the pub. I was fairly confident by then that I should be able to get them all and made it back in just over 57 minutes. You can see my route on Google Maps.
These events are now every three weeks going on in to the Summer with the next one starting at 7:30pm from the Oak Road Car Park, Dibden Purlieu on 31 January.
