| Course description: | Exposed moorland rising to 325m (hence with excellent views over the surrounding areas) cut by two North/South deep valleys. Generally fast open grassland on the north-facing slopes and slow, rough open tussocky grass and indistinct marshes elsewhere. Many individually mapped single trees and bushes cover the whole area. Areas of bracken (not a hindrance at this time of year) in the open areas are mapped as "slow run undergrowth" and areas of significant gorse in the tussocky areas are mapped as "walk undergrowth". |
