Dear All,

Following on from John Britton’s successful season opener at Romiley last night (thanks John!), we now offer you: Round 2!

It’s based at the Angel Inn on King Street in Knutsford on Thursday, 14th November.

Post code: WA16 6HQ

OSGR: SJ752787

There’s no parking at the pub itself, but there is plenty of off-street public parking nearby, which is free after 18:00.

· If you’re coming from the North or West, recommended parking is on the west side of Tatton Street, WA16 6AG

· For traffic from the South or East, recommended parking is on the east side of King Street, WA16 6DX. NB King Street is one-way Northbound.

... but there are plenty of other parking opportunities which might suit.

The Angel Inn is a Holt’s pub, so the price of a pint is pretty reasonable – and tonight there were four real ales to choose from J. [Yes, time spent in reconnaissance is seldom wasted!]

There’s an extensive menu, with a ‘2 for £12’ offer on a wide range of main courses: meat, fish, or veggie; and salads, omelettes or burgers.

Alternatively there’s ‘a burger and a drink’ offer at £7.75 – that’s a choice of burger with skinny fries and coleslaw, and the drink can be: a pint of draught beer, a 175ml glass of house wine, a draught soft drink, or a standard hot beverage. Pretty good!

And what of the orienteering?

Well, the style of map will be familiar to those who’ve tried this before. It’s at a scale of 1:12,500.

The 55 controls (all typical NSL controls) have been carefully selected (from a long list of 133) in locations that will tantalise and tempt, all carefully and constructively checked by Kate and Dave Bryant (to whom thanks).

And there is a small and subtle twist to the points allocation, which...

...no, sorry, I’ve said too much already.

Grahame will be back next Monday (from a weekend of orienteering in Rome!), so I’ll ask you to forward your requests for maps to him, also indicating if you might want to eat: nsl2013@mdoc.org.uk

If I’ve left out any important info, please let me know.

Also, if you’re thinking of bringing a coach party...

Hope to see y’all on the 14th!

Cheers

Ian
