Summer Series event, Bloom Wood, Wednesday 9th June
Here is some information about the above event. Mass Start: 7:30pm
Car Parking
The route to car parking will be indicated by an orienteering flag hung at OS GR: SU 855891. This is by the Three Horseshoes pub in Burroughs Grove, approximately 2km S. of the Handy Cross roundabout, J4 of the M40 at High Wycombe. The Three Horseshoes is on a minor road leading from Handy Cross towards Marlow Bottom. By the pub, turn SE (a left turn coming from Handy Cross) off this minor road into a smaller minor road. Follow this road around as it loops and passes under the Marlow Bypass. Car parking will be on the verge of this minor road after the bridge under the Marlow Bypass. This is the only route to the area. There is absolutely no access to this event from the A404 Marlow Bypass itself.
