We’re at Croft on Wednesday evening as usual, for some laps of the trail and practice on the trail features 😊
Meet in the Croft car park at 5.30pm – note the slightly earlier time, as we’re trying to make the most of the fading light.
You will need a helmet and you’ll get away without lights till about 6.45pm, but you’ll want them after that – it gets dark very fast in those trees!
