Well I seem to have got mixed up between Pam's tree and Monkey Bars. I thought what is down as "monkey bars" was between two trees almost in a straight line between the start and the War Memorial at the South end. Then what is down as Pam's tree on the left appears to be near the kids play equipment but on the main footpath past the Oakwood Centre towards the pond. |

Thanks. Ok,the monkey bars are actually in front of the tress to the left of your arrow, but I know the point isn’t there as last time I circles them and didn’t get it! I guess I go a bit right of them and see if that helps. I know where Pam's tree is, there's a lovely plaque. For the hill did you climb to the top? I did and walked all around it but never got the point. |

Monkey bars should be the, ahem, monkey bars but I think they are slightly out - I've picked up the marker by following the balancing trail from the path after the trees. Teletubby hill should be the top of the hill, I think I went to the right place but went to the start point afterwards! Pam's tree is a tree with a plaque on the left before the playground for a lovely parkrunning friend who passed away too soon. We must have just missed you GH as we walked the dogs round the park just after 5pm.

@chunkywizard for Teletubby Hill I went up the worn path at the end of the hill, walked over the top towards the start point and then doubled back to another worn path that went down the side. A lot of faffing to get the last point.

Hang on, that pic is actually of the beginning of @Garfield 's course in Woking. I tried it today and didn't wait long enough to get a good GPS trace and so missed the start point. ☹️

LOL @Groundhog - StuH has managed to complete my course...all 20 of the markers. I've only managed to do half at the moment, as I forget where I included on it!!

When I tried to do my Canadian course, nothing registered. I'm not sure why as I covered a lot of the points on it.
