Courses
| Course description: | Brand new 1:7500 map of a new area for Orienteering - the former Waterhall downland golf course which has been left to re-wild. Runnability varies considerably, the former fairways will offer good running, but there are considerable areas of scrubland which will be much slower. The former use of the land will add to the number of available control sites, such as bunkers and tees! Entries via racesignup.co.uk |
