This is our 19th event and some people have supported us from the very beginning. My thanks go out to the people who man the checkpoints and provide encouragement and sustenance to the walkers. I would also like to thank all of the people that work behind the scenes, for example the radio and computer operators, caterers and the minibus drivers. Also thanks to the committee members who work throughout the year to put together this event.

I also need to thank all of the landowners that give permission for this event to take place, especially Beaudesert Campsite, Staffordshire Council, Forest Enterprises and the British Waterways.

Well we think that everything is in place so let us hope that the weather is kind to us once again. GOOD LUCK and enjoy the scenery.

Drinks at Beaudesert

Shop.

The providore at Beaudesert will be open at various times selling sweets, drinks, etc. A few badges from previous years events will also be available for sale.

Spectators.

Spectators are always welcome on the Chase Walk and we hope this handbook will be of use to those not actively involved as well as to the participants.

However, there have been occasions when spectators have caused us some problems. We therefore ask you to help the smooth running of the event by following these guidelines.

1 Do not give any assistance to walkers (except, of course, in case of an emergency) as this may result in their being disqualified.

2 Park well away from checkpoints. Congested checkpoints hamper staff, confuse competitors and anger landowners - several checkpoints are on private land and we only have permission for essential vehicles.

3 Do not give lifts to retired walkers until a checkpoint officer gives permission. Otherwise transport will be sent unnecessarily, and we will worry over "lost" walkers.

Information on the progress of the event and your teams is available at the enquiry desk in the Cal Day Centre.

Returning Retirees.

Please make contingency plans for the possibility of members of your team not completing the whole route. There have been occasions over the past years where people have been stuck without car keys, dry clothes, money or food, in some cases for many hours.

A notice board for leaving messages will be provided in the finish area.

The Rules.

1a Entries must be made on official entry forms (photocopies allowed) and all information required must be supplied together with the appropriate entry fee which is not returnable.

1b Entries must be from TEAMS of 4 to 7 people aged 14 or over on the day of the event.

1c Entries will be closed when the maximum number of walkers is reached or on 31st January, whichever is the sooner.

1d The organisers reserve the right to change any team name that is inappropriate to a Scouting event.

2 Each competitor will be issued with a walk card at registration, this must be carried BY THE INDIVIDUAL WALKER and be produced and punched at each checkpoint reached.

3a Competitors may only retire at official checkpoints. If a checkpoint cannot be reached then a message must be sent to the nearest checkpoint or if appropriate direct to walk control. The remainder of the team may continue, and be in the competition, provided that they are 4 or more in number. Teams with less than 4 walkers remaining may join with other full or part teams to complete the walk but will not be eligible for trophies.

3b Teams must keep together at all times and therefore retired walkers can not continue with another team.

4 Competitors may be disqualified if:

Any of the rules are broken.

The country code or rules of the road are disobeyed.

Members of a team do not keep together.

The stated route is not kept to.

Checkpoints are not visited contiguously.

Any assistance is received except in an emergency.

In the opinion of a marshal a walker is unfit to continue.

A checkpoint is reached after its allocated cut-off time.

7 The above list of equipment will be strictly adhered to at the kit check. If you have any queries, please contact us before the event.

TEAMS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO START, or continue, the walk unless the equipment listed in rules 5 and 6 can be produced at the kit check and at spot checks carried out by inspection teams on the course.

8 Acceptance of all applications will be at the discretion of the organisers. On completing the registration form, all competitors agree to accept these rules and conditions governing the event. The organisers decision will be final in any dispute. The rules may be changed if it is necessary in the interests of safety.

9 To comply with Scouting & Guiding insurance, we must insist that registration forms are signed by someone with appropriate authority under the Authorisation Scheme for Hill Walking. TEAMS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO START WITHOUT THIS SIGNATURE.

The Chase Walk Stage by Stage

Arrival.

Those camping at Beaudesert may camp in any of the areas marked on the campsite map. PLEASE DON'T TAKE VEHICLES OFF THE TRACKS AS IT DAMAGES THE GRASS.

After unloading please return your vehicles to the car park, do not leave vehicles blocking the tracks.

If you are arriving early and want to try to get some sleep, the quiet areas marked on the map of Beaudesert, which will be cordoned off to vehicles at 22.30. Please do not pitch in these areas after this time.

Registration.

The office will be open for booking in from 19.30 until 22.30 on Friday, and will reopen at 04.30 Saturday. ONE person should bring your completed registration form into the Chapel. DON'T FORGET AUTHORISATION SIGNATURE. You will be issued with your walk cards which each walker must carry personally during the walk. Please allow AT LEAST 15 minutes to register before your kit-check time - there is no allowance for late starting.

Catering.

Meals are served in CK2 (see map of Beaudesert). Free tea and coffee will be available at all reasonable times in CK1, where route maps and last minute information will be displayed, and on Saturday evening in the Cal Day Centre.

Checkpoints.

As you arrive at a checkpoint ensure that ALL your team or combination of teams are together (you shouldn't be out of contact anyway!). Report to a checkpoint marshal and get your card punched before taking a rest or refreshments. Keep your mug handy for drinks. The clock is still running whilst you are at a checkpoint so don't stay too long - 10 minutes at each one adds up to 2.5 hours!

Food on the Course

Your entry fee includes drinks (squash, tea, coffee, soup etc.) at most checkpoints.

Two checkpoints also provide a snack - please note this is intended as a supplement to your food for the day, you must bring and carry your own lunch (and breakfast and tea!).

The Route.

A map of the route and checkpoint plans will be on display in CK1 on Friday evening and Saturday morning.

A lot of time has been spent to find a course that is off the roads and interesting. In a number of places it may seem possible to use roads rather than the approved course, please don't because: i) Many of the roads are narrow and have no footpath; ii) Road walking is not very interesting.

DANGER! PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE MANY OLD MINE SHAFTS ON THE CHASE. PLEASE TAKE GREAT CARE IF YOU LEAVE A FOOTPATH.

The Start - Beaudesert.

Follow the route markers and flashing lights from the start to Castle Ring. When approaching the A460 at 027157, turn right and follow the road to the junction. Do not be tempted to climb the grass bank and cross the barriers as you are on a dangerous blind bend.

CP1 - Forest Centre.Cold drinks.

The checkpoint is by the centres gates. Start through the woods parallel to the road up Penkridge Bank, before joining the road for the final 600m to Rifle Range Corner. Cross the Sherbrook Valley and climb a little to checkpoint 2 at:

CP2 - Aspen Car Park.Hot and cold drinks, toilets.

Follow the track beside the road past the War Cemetery, then the footpath through Dogingtree Estate, cross the A34 and take the footpath past the now cleared site of the coal mine and across the fields to join the minor road at:

CP3 - Mansty.Hot and cold drinks.

Continue along the footpath until the B5012. Turn right, and then left onto a track at Pillaton Hall Farm. Please do not walk through the farmyard. Beside the motorway bridge is:

CP4 - Penkridge.Hot and cold drinks, snack, toilets.

Follow the minor road past houses to gain the canal towpath. Follow the canal to the next checkpoint, do not use the road as it is very narrow and has no footpath.

CP5 - Shutt Hill Lock.Hot and cold drinks.

Follow the road until the track for Plashes Farm. Follow the footpath to Bednall, cross the A34 and take the path up to:

CP6 - Sycamores Hill.Hot and cold drinks.

Descend to the hollow below Tar Hill, then pass through Brocton to pick up the bridleway to Walton just to the left of the golf course entrance. The checkpoint is at the junction of this bridleway and the road outside Walton.

CP7 - Walton-on-the-Hill.Hot and cold drinks, toilets.

Walk through the housing towards the Walton Farm, turning right to gain the footpath to Brockton Lodge. Cross the Brockton-Milford road and go up the track opposite. Refreshments are at the foot of the hill and the radio check-in is at the top.

CP8 - Broc Hill.Hot and Cold drinks.

Descend the hill and gain a track climbing toward Coppice Hill. Follow this and the road via Anson's Bank and Springslade Lodge back to Aspen car park. This part of the chase was a huge army camp set up in 1915. To the left of the road are the concrete bases of buildings, connected by a railway that joined the main line at Milford. About 1500 wooden huts were erected on this very exposed area and between 1915 and 1918 some 250,000 soldiers passed through these camps.

CP9 - Aspen Car Park.Hot and cold drinks, soup, toilets.

Return to the Sherbrook Valley and turn north towards the wooded slopes of Brockton Coppice, the last remnants of the natural oak forest which covered the Chase before large scale charcoal burning at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. At a crossroads go straight on up to:

CP10 - Oat Hill.Hot and cold drinks.

Book in at the summit of Oat hill and then turn right and head down to the car park by the A513 for refreshments.

After a short distance along the main road you will come into the magnificent parkland of Shugborough Hall. The house has been the seat of the Anson family since 1624. The family later received the title "Earls of Lichfield", and the fifth Earl, photographer Patrick Lichfield, still lives in part of the house.

CP11 - Shugborough.Hot and cold drinks.

The checkpoint is on the road through the park. You cross the River Trent via the Essex Bridge, a superb structure built in the 17th Century as a packhorse bridge. Originally there were over forty arches; only fourteen remain, but it is still the longest packhorse bridge in England.

Follow the towpath beside the canal, built by James Brindley around 1770 to link the Trent with the Mersey. Leave the canal at Navigation Farm.

CP12 - Seven Springs.Hot and cold drinks, hot snack, toilets.

Keep left at the car park, and walk up a good track along Abraham's Valley, following the perimeter of the rifle range. Even though the range is now out of use, do not cross it as there is danger of old ammunition.

CP13 - Rifle Range.Hot and cold drinks.

Head south through the woods to Flints Corner and the Marquis Drive. Toilets are available until 5.30pm at the Brindley Valley visitors centre (003 152). Take care crossing the railway and the A460.

CP14 - Moor's GorseHot and cold drinks, soup, toilets.

The water pumping station here at Moor's Gorse is one of six on the Chase that pump from bore holes tapping the vast store of water in underground pebble beds. Continue up Marquis Drive to:

CP15 - Wandon Crossroads.Hot and cold drinks.

The tracks from here to the finish are not shown on later 1:50 000 maps so the route will be marked by flags and lights, passing Horsepasture Pool and climbing through the woods to a barrier. Turn right here and climb the last hill to reach the campsite.

FINISH

The finish desk is in the Cal Day Centre (the same building as the kit check), the entrance will once again be via a side door

Your Team

The ChaseWalk is a TEAM event. If a member of your team is unfit to continue, your first duty is to see them safely to a checkpoint or collected by ChaseWalk transport. You must be close enough together to be able to communicate with each other AT ALL TIMES.

You started together, and should STAY TOGETHER. Teams whose members are out of communication with each other risk being disqualified.

Retiring.

Should you decide not to continue, or a marshal decides you are unfit to continue or you arrive at a checkpoint after its cut-off time then you will retire. Transport will be arranged to take you back to Beaudesert.

Should you be unable to continue between checkpoints, at least one other team member must stay with you whilst others obtain assistance. In this instance the remaining team members must not continue the walk until Walk Control give permission. It is your first duty is to ensure that the retiring team members are safely accounted for and you may be required to help locate them. The remaining members of your team will be allowed a time adjustment in this case.

Once you have retired and the rest of your team have left then you CANNOT continue walking. If you do this you render your whole team liable to disqualification for not walking as one group.

Disqualification.

We have tried to tune the Rules over the last 19 years to cover all eventualities without becoming a huge legal document, but this isn't easy. The Chase Walk exists only for the competitors, the rules may appear unnecessarily strict to some; however with over 600 walkers spread over nearly 40 miles we cannot ensure that there are no serious problems unless they are kept to.

We hope that there will be no problems this year, but the only people that can ensure that are you, the competitors. You agree to the rules when you enter: please abide by them - letter and spirit.

First Aid.

If required, report to the First Aid Centre near the finish. If it is your feet that require treatment please bring a towel and clean socks.

Presentation.

All walkers and spectators are invited to attend the presentation, which will start at 10.00am on Sunday morning in the Cal Day Centre.

Results.

Results lists and certificates will be available for collection after the presentation. Any not claimed will be posted on. Copies of the results are available by sending an SAE to the address in the front of this booklet.

Lost Property.

All enquiries to the address in the front of this booklet. Any lost property not claimed by May will be disposed of.
