FINAL DETAILS ARE IN BOLD FONT (3/12/2021)

Best route to event for all: - use the location detail for access -

the postcode gets you near to the assembly field track entrance ,...OR

Leave the M180 at junction (4) turning North:

at the very next roundabout turn West, continue for 1.5 km and turn left on to the B1398;

After 1km and after bridging the M180 turn sharp right (signed)(50mph road);

After 1km traveling West on a single track road, the entrance to the parking field is revealed.

The location of the START is 400m South East of the assembly field; follow the marked route.  FINISH is 150 metres from assembly.

 

Terrain information: -

After a week of rain it will not be possible to keep your feet dry except for those participants on the White & Yellow courses.

Please observe the "OOB" areas and "DO NOT CROSS PURPLE BOUNDARY LINES"

The area has mixed woodland and sand dune slopes.  The bracken is subsiding.

The rhododendrons are impenetrable - use marked path routes or obvious gaps. 

The "Gull Ponds" have black bank lines which means they are dangerous to cross.

Please respect other users of the woodland many of them being dog walkers.
