2020 Spring LOC Coaching
During Spring 2020 LOC put on a series of training sessions with a coach, planned and organised by Carol McNeill, almost every Saturday morning from now until April. This series is a chance to be introduced to new techniques and practice those which have become rusty which will contribute to improving your results and enjoying.
It covers Urban, Terrain and Relay styles using specially prepared training maps.
There are also 2 'Come and Try it' events where some Compass and contour methods are integrated into those sessions.
The details of each session will be on the Events page and which will be updated as each session approaches.
The overall schedule is attached here.
