Details
| Description: | Part of BOK's Local event series, scoring towards Club Adult League and Junior League. The Campus is a mixture of urban and parkland. The urban section fills the centre of the area and is a mixture of residential halls for students and university buildings. It is surrounded by fields to the east and south, and woodland surrounding two long lakes fed by a stream to the west. Please use shoes suitable for both terrain types; spikes are not permitted. Students and staff are likely to be present throughout the area so take care when turning corners of buildings. Public footpaths cross the campus so please be mindful of walkers and dogs. Bathampton Angling Association may have people fishing along the lake so please be considerate and beware of their equipment. A primary road runs through the campus and there is likely to be a steady volume of slow moving traffic throughout the day, including buses, so be careful when crossing the road. |
