Once a race promoted by East Grinstead CC’s Andy Seltzer. Deers Leap is a course we have not used for a few years. This day it was very wet but I can remember very hot weather for some races.
The course was a mix of farm tracks, wooded areas and country park grassland which crossed a rather deep and wide’ish gully, which filled with water when wet.
Konrad Manning: “Good course – sorry to hear it’s joined the list of lost.”
Sylvain Garde: “There was a cool little shop with a few bike parts there. That was à tricky course when muddy”.
Oskar Scarsbrook: “I was more interested in the plethora of large sticks the forest provided.”

East Grinstead is also famous for Ron Hubbard’s Church, Latter Day Saints and Hare Krishna’s who all have a HQ there.
