Dibbers available to use.
Courses:
Long 4.1km 160m climb 11 controls
Short 2.6km 120m climb 10 controls
There is no novice course as the terrain is not suitable
Start/Finish: The start and finish are very close to each other about 1km south of the parking at the end of the small road near Newsham.
Terrain: The area is very challenging for a night event. The long course is full technical difficulty, I have made the short course technically easier but it will still be tricky.
1) The area is boggy. Be prepared for wet and possibly cold feet
2) Potentially most of the area could be mapped as marsh. However, marsh is generally only mapped where it affects the runability
3) There are a lot of boulders. If they are bigger than around 0.6-0.8m they are mapped
4) The areas marked on the map as fast open are short grass and are useful for navigating
5) Lidar and aerial imagery has been used to map the area so any mapped features are in the correct places.
6) Most of the features are vague, relocation is very difficult
***Refreshments***: After your run soup, hot drinks and cakes will be available to purchase in the cricket pavilion, so bring some cash along!!
