Enville Sheepwalks is where a very early
Harlequins event was to be held - it was in the calendar for ages back in the late '60s - but as far as I can tell it never took place - perhaps the offer of Kinver Million was preferred.
While at the Wenlock Olympics I was told about the Enville 10k - so I thought I would go take a look as normally there is very little access. It is a lovely estate - and would make a great place for a relay (as long as someone has the time to make a LOT of fence crossing points)

| M3WDD at the Enville 10K - yes this is the steep bit - I walked it all on the second time around |
 |
| It is a two lap course - each lap with 115m of climb in the first 2km and then, pretty much, all downhill after that |
The race take place on the last Sunday of July and starts at 10:00am. If there is no orienteering on - then I will be back next year - and in 2013 I
will run up the hill both times
 |
| back in 1857 Enville was considered the finest cricket ground in the county - superior even to Lords |
and afterwards to the
Kinver & West Midlands Society of Model Engineers 50th anniversary celebration - where I met my radio tutor (Ron Swinburne M0WSN) - what a surprise, learned all about the
Bridgenorth Trevithick Engine - steamed up but not yet running on rails and generally had a good time.

| A cold war era Radio Relay Wagon - rescued and restored by my Radio Tutor - for weeks at a time this would have been out in the West German countryside - containing two bored squaddies and towing a pair of 5kW generators. |
