Description:	Part of BOK's Local event series, scoring towards Club Senior League and Junior League. Caution: crags: Some of the valley sides have steep crags / cliff faces. The courses have been planned to ensure you do not need to cross these, but on courses of Orange and above you must navigate carefully and pay attention to your surroundings. One cliff face in particular is marked on the map as an ‘out of bounds’ boundary to ensure it is avoided and will be marked with tape where necessary. If your route choice looks dangerous, please use your common sense – please err on the side of caution! Blaise Castle Estate is a mix of open, fast running parkland and steep wooded terrain with an irregular path network. The main paths are mapped but small and indistinct paths are not. The estate is a public space and is often very busy at the weekends, particularly on the main paths. Please be respectful of other users and take care of dogs and small children on bikes/scooters. Given the time of year and warm spring, vegetation is likely to be denser generally than appears on the map. All paths could be muddy/slippery particularly if wet, with many exposed tree roots and rocks underfoot, so O-shoes or grippy trail shoes are very much recommended. Ticks are present in Blaise, so fully body cover is required. There is a stream running alongside the metalled path running through the gorge. Under normal conditions this is crossable at many points but may become deep and fast-flowing after heavy rain and should be avoided under such conditions. There are bridges no courses require it to be crossed elsewhere.
