| Map | 1:10,000 with 5m contour interval | |||
| Terrain |
Runnable forest with areas of heathland. Generally flat terrain with areas of finer contour detail. There is forestry work in the area. Please keep strictly out of the out of bounds areas marked (new tree planting etc). Due to recent forestry work there are unmapped vehicle tracks / changes to vegetation / new ditches in places. Bracken is dying back, but still high in some places.

Brown 9.8 km, 85m Course lengths and climbs. Start and finish are at opposite ends of the parking area and only 300m apart.

White, Yellow and Orange do not cross any roads. The other courses cross the entrance track - pay attention to cars on this track. There is no marshalled road crossing, but the track is straight with good visibility. The track section nearest assembly is marked out of bounds on the courses. Starts in blocks 10:30-12:30. If you miss your start block, do not worry we will fit you in. It is a punching start and finish. The other controls on the course are contactless SIAC enabled. Courses close at 14:30.
