Morning event is Tinshill and Ireland Wood. Map is 1:4,000 with 2.5m contours. The area comprises suburban housing of mixed ages and street layout where you might see some low flying Red Kites! There are pockets of former ancient woodland including Ireland Wood which has numerous mapped boulders and former boundary walls. Courses are planned to avoid the worst undergrowth but full leg cover is strongly recommended. Start is 800m walk from assembly and return from finish is 750m.

Afternoon event is Holt Park. Map is 1:4,000 with 2.5m contours. The area is a high density 1960's housing estate and amenity land: classic sprint O terrain. Start and finish are 250m from assembly.

Course closing time is 15:00

We expect to have Live Results available
