Short: 1-1.5km (TBC) - This will be suitable for juniors as it has been planned to be entirely in the woodlands or the footpath/pavements which surround it, meaning that no roads will need to be crossed. It has been planned at around yellow standard, but should make a pleasant walk for anyone who wants to have a go.
Long: 3km (TBC) - This takes in roads and some woodland. Over 16s only, unless accompanied.
Suburban housing estates and some pockets of woodland, which in July is quite overgrown in places - we heavily recommend wearing full leg cover on all courses.
Under control please. Clear up any mess.
