Courses

Course description:First use of newly updated map (scale 1:5000). Borde Hill is mainly mature open parkland, with pockets of woodland and several lakes. The area is used for equestrian events which has resulted in a lot of horse jumps, etc (which are forever being added, removed or relocated!). Despite it's open nature, the area is more physically demanding than might be expected as the land is not flat and the grass is generally quite rough (not a lawn)! Full leg cover essential due to some areas of woodland bramble.
Colour coded courses:Yellow, Orange, Green, Blue
