Description: | Mixed woodland with old mine workings. Please could you email the organiser if you intend bringing a large group so that sufficient maps can be printed Terrain Notes: Some slopes can be slippery in wet conditions so care may be needed when going downhill in such areas as also in the vicinity of ruins where the ground may be uneven. Some paths are indistinct so take care when using to navigate especially if covered in fallen leaves. Taped /smiley faced canes will be used on part of the Yellow course where this is so. Elsewhere the forest is mainly runnable deciduous with minimal patches of low undergrowth which is mostly avoidable. There are also a few hides across the area which are not mapped. There are several out of bound areas on the map marked by black hatching which must not be entered. Where these affect navigation, crossing points to circumvent are marked on the maps. The area is also popular with dog walkers and cyclists so please take care if you encounter any. |
