Courses

Course description:Woodland with adjacent pasture fields. Runnability in the woods tends to be quite slow at this time of year - it is quite hilly, much of it has quite low visibility and there are areas of bramble and bracken which may not have fully died back. The courses will be shorter than usual to reflect the lower than usual speed of the terrain.
Colour coded courses:Yellow, Orange, Short Green, Green, Blue
