Courses
| Course description: | The area is quite undulating with some steep sided stream valleys and technically quite demanding in places too. Mainly quite good runnability, the bracken is dying back but the worst remaining sections (as of 3 weeks before the event) have been marked with the "slow run" or (occasionally) "walk" undergrowth screen. This screen is only a guide though and should not be relied on for fine navigation. As a result of subsequent wind and rain, runnability may well be better than shown... |
