Suicide Six Baggeridge
Can anyone tell me where the route of the Baggeridge Suicide Six crosses the water? I cannot find a map of the route anywhere but I have a plan of Baggeridge Country Park which shows a pool (Bag Pool) to the north east and a series of pools in the south west. I presume the crossing is at one of these locations.

just stick that in google maps search.
Race starts in the Bowl near the Cafe.
Runs across the grass towards top lake passing the finish line on the left.
Go halfway around the lake in a clockwise direction before turning left which takes you up and over Topscope Hill. At the trig point, turn left descending the hill, and then right across the grass towards the disused lorry track.
Follow the track which takes you up to the entrance to the Baggeridge Park. Turn left past the farm down to the cross roads. Turn left which takes you down to the bridge over the stream.
Turn right past the middle leke on the fright.
Turn right over the stream, and then right, and left up the hill into Himley Woods.
Infront of Himley Hall turn sharp left still keeping in the woods.
This takes you to the water crossing.
After crossing it, turn left taking you back towards Baggeridge past runners still coming down.
Turn right up to the Straites gate, then left back again into Baggeridge and up the Jacobs ladder (the famous steps).
At the top you go around the rim of the Bowl where you started from, and then a quick race to the lene.
