Safety: The area is very popular with visitors.
The long courses use a railway tunnel/bridge to get to the southern part, these must be used. There are some ponds and streams. There are a few bridges across deep streams, but beware some bridges have been removed.
Score Course: Find as many as you can, with penalties for being late. This course enables children to practice before going to the British Schools Score Orienteering Championships in October
