Map / Terrain
Be aware the maps may have an old map on the back to recycle paper.
The western part of Summerhouse Knott is a small but perfectly formed area for night O. Contour and rock features abound but not to the extent that the rock is dangerous. Storm damage is next to none. The path for the yellow course has two fallen trees (tip - go to the left). Fences must not be crossed. Your red line is either bent to the gate you must use or you are given a choice of gates. There are six belted Galloway cattle at the western end of the area, They are very placid but please keep your distance. Gates must be left as you find them and I expect that to be closed in all instances.
