Trail maps delayed
UPDATE added 7th August 2021.
We have been informed by the town council that there has been a delay in producing the trail maps, so they will NOT be available on Saturday 7th August as previously advertised.
We will post a further update once it is confirmed that the maps are available.
Trail maps now available
UPDATE added 11th August 2021.
Trail maps are now available from all the venues listed above. Payment is by cash.
The delay in having the maps available was caused by a need to reprint them due to an error in the original print run that was not picked up by the council representative who checked the proof supplied by the printer.
Note: The town council has informed us that maps will not be available from Baileys Court Activity Centre (as previously advertised), due to “low staffing levels”.
