Pre-event Details
Map / Terrain
The courses are relatively short in this rather constrained area of old mixed woodland on a steep hillside.
Final section of all courses is through a mature pine plantation.
Can be very slippery if wet.
There is some storm damage near a mandatory crossing point. This can easily be circumvented, but the wrong decision here could be frustrating.
There are two dilapidated wire fences which will be taped for safety.
