Course notes:
CRAGS MARKED AS IMPASSABLE ARE IMPASSABLE: COMPETITORS MUST NOT ATTEMPT TO CLIMB THEM!
Brown, Blue & Green courses visit several of the old quarries which are a feature of this area. The terrain in these areas is steep and rocky, and competitors (older or younger) who wish to avoid this should select the Light Green course instead, which is almost of equivalent technical challenge (because given the number of paths in the area there are very few genuinely TD5 controls)
Light Green, Orange, Yellow & White courses do not enter the old quarries
The White course uses a section of path which has become rather muddy in places in recent weeks - depending on weather conditions in the next few weeks wellys might be a good idea!
All maps will be 1:7,500, waterproof paper, with control descriptions & legend. Loose control descriptions will also be available. White & Yellow course maps & control descriptions at registration, all others at the start.
Provisionally: Brown, Blue and Green will be A3, Light Green, Orange, Yellow & White A4
