Location
Parking
There is a car park but it’s tiny and there will be non-orienteers using it so please park on nearby roads consider cycling/jogging/walking to the event or at least parking a bit further away.
Terrain
Large areas of runnable grassland
Areas of youngish trees with a large variety of runnability.
A few deep ditches… there will be an update on the depth of the water at the start! There are bridges to cross.
A marshy area with lots of wet depressions.
Fences, many crossable but some mapped as uncrossable due to barbed wire.
Some areas where litter louts have been at work. Don’t pick anything up.
Some quiet culs de sacs… but they do have traffic so TAKE CARE!
