The penultimate race in the NGOC 2025 League will take place on Parkend Walk, including a new extension into Noxon Park, which brings the village of Bream into play for the longest courses getting over to the far Eastern areas of the map.
Newent is a fairly compact town/village, surrounded by usually rather dark and muddy fields, so for this race we return to the Odds and Evens format on a 1:7,500 scale map.
Please note the change of date, from Thursday 6th November, as originally published, to Wednesday 5th November
After the hill in Gloucester, we head to the relative 'plains' of Northern Hereford and its mix of trading estates and suburbia, with some un-lit recreation grounds, footpaths and country lanes.
Saturday 25/10/2025 - NGOC League 10 - Headless Hill
Headless Hill is the westernmost part of the Forest of Dean, overlooking Monmouth from the ridge that runs North from Staunton, before dropping steeply down to the Wye.
Roobinswood is a gem of a location close to the heart of Gloucester - although like The Dowards a couple of weeks ago, somewhat hilly - in fact just one distinctive conical hill dominating the Gloucester skyline.
