Courses
| Course description: | Newly remapped using LIDAR data, Chailey Common is a mixture of open heathland with some wooded sections. Generally quite flat, with an array of WW1 trench systems, pits & gullies, plus lots of vegetation changes. Some low lying areas can become waterlogged after periods of rain. One of our most popular venues. |
