Courses

Course description:Rivers Wood is a beautiful working woodland, part of the much larger Balcombe Estate, comprising both deciduous and evergreen trees with an extensive network of paths and rides. A previous map can be viewed at www.so.routegadget.co.uk/rg2/#320. A public footpath runs north/south through the middle of the woods, otherwise it is private land entertaining everything from forestry to shooting to police dog training (not, I should hasten to add, while we’re running on it!). Yellow 1.4km, 30m climb Orange 2.5km, 50m climb Green 4.0km, 90m climb Blue 6.0km, 150m climb
