The Ball Breaker

Type: A to B

Length: 18.5km

Description:

The Ball Breaker trail is 18 ½ -ish km long, plus checking. It’s almost all off road on paths and tracks through varied open and wooded countryside, with a few hills, ponds and sights. It is an “A to B” trail with a drink stop and a circle at the end, then a coach back to the site. There is one planned drink stop on the trail after about 12km, and there are opportunities to buy ice cream. If you like a long run, this will be a good one :).

You must carry sufficient water for 12km, and a working phone with the UKNH25 emergency contact number stored and the What3Words app installed with the language set to “English (UK)”. You are advised to also have Uber installed on your phone in case of need to make your own way back to the site. Checks will be marked and there will be a sweeper hare. Note that the coach will leave B at 3pm. It will not wait for missing or late hashers, nor will the hares go searching.
