Conditions in the woods are currently perfect – and there’s lots of snowdrops to enjoy – at Heaton Park.

Snow and sogginess at Philips Park Prestwich
There’s plenty of snow and mud to be found in our parks at the moment! Photo by postwatcher Paul.
MapRun declared the winner
We have decided that MapRun is the way forward for smartphone (and smartwatch) orienteering. So, to keep things simple, our few MapTiler and HippsomApp products have been withdrawn, and we will not be trying to maintain all the MOBO controls at Burrs.
Interesting bench in Worsley Woods
This bench, on the path South of control TF, is dedicated to memorial plaques for oodles of dogs. It was very shiny in the low-flying winter sunshine.
Jobs at Chorlton Water Park
Missing posts A and D replaced at Chorlton Water Park. Busy, but not completely heaving – a good job with quite a bit of car park being under water, and no ice-cream van. The eagle eyed amongst you may spot the new post A in the photo (next to the dog-poo bin and the person with the white top).
Serious weather at Clowbridge
Snow on the ground, low flying clouds, wetness all around … a tad bracing !
Roadworks at Moses Gate Darcy Lever
The underwater path through Moses Gate Darcy Lever is being seriously upgraded – see photo. Maintenance joblets knocked off in 3 Bolton parks this week.
Hough End courses re-designed
Somewhat belatedly, you might think, we have redesigned the Hough End courses to take advantage of the public car park next to the relatively new Leisure Centre. So, make sure to use the latest map, and the new car park! Picture is the new Start/Finish post. Other joblets this week … couple of posts repaired at Dukes Drive Monton and full set of QR plaques installed at Queens Park Bolton.
Autumn at Silver Springs
A nice Autumn day for joblets at Gorse Hall and Silver Springs.
Colours at Nuttall Park
Beginnings of Autumn colours at Nuttall Park, where 2 missing controls were restored. Also knocked off a couple of jobs at a very soggy Leverhulme Park.
