I once looked out the trig points local to me... One was off a footpath in some fields, and was so overgrown nobody would know it was there, and only a determined lunatic like myself would actually bother to go and find it.

The other was located off a road and in Severn Trent Water private property.

I thought that they, along with our clubhouse, made a fantastic triangle for a race.

Alas i realised that the off-road nature and isolated locations would put off 90% of club members, so i devised a similar race using the various railway stations in Coventry as checkpoints instead.

Thus our first christmas special race was born.
