MetrO - Sale Water Park

Monday August 24th 2015

MetrO: is a night street type event run in daylight, with public transport to a choice of four starts, and with the option of a paperless map.

23rd Jul 15

The idea is that the competitors, having assembled in the car park at the Trafford Water Sports Centre by Sale Water Park around 6.30pm, will then take the short walk to Dane Road Metro station before taking a southbound tram to one of four stations: Brooklands, Timperley, Navigation Road or Altrincham. They then run back to the finish at Sale Water Park (not to be confused with Sale Metro Station) arriving before sundown  - 8.00pm - to enjoy the Boathouse bar and pub grub.

 

There will one A4 night street event type map for each of the four legs of the Altrincham to Sale Water Park course. Those getting off before Altrincham will require fewer maps on which to return to the Water Park. Alternatively Peter Ross () will supply a single georeferenced digital map, complete with controls, covering the whole competition area. This can be read using the MapTiler app (£1.99) on an Android or Apple smartphone or tablet.
