A NEW Christmas themed family activity course is launching in Burnham’s Riverside Park.

The Xplorer course will launch in Burnham on Monday. It offers an orienteering challenge for the whole family with a mixture of physical activity and decision making.

Using maps collected from Burnham Tourist Information Centre on the High Street, the aim is to find a number of markers that are located around Riverside Park.

At each marker children need to identify what is pictured and answer any riddles that may be there.

The scheme is has been created in partnership with Sport England and British Orienteering.

Councillor Ron Pratt, Chairman of the council’s community services committee, said: “It is important that we continue to offer the community initiatives throughout the District that not only keep us active but can be enjoyed by the whole family.”
