Course Notes:
- Roads are OOB (Out of Bounds)
- There is an area of the wood that is OOB. It is marked as such on the map and surrounded by an uncrossable fence
- There are deep ponds on the area. Only Long Course competitors should need to approach one of them
- On the Long and Short Courses there is a short and steep path descent by a barbed wire fence. Please be careful
- The Long and Short Courses twice cross a small bridge. Across the bridge is a knee-high wire that looks like an electric fence. It is not electrified. It is there to discourage the horses from straying onto the west side of the wood. Please just step over the wire leaving it in place
Special Map Symbols:
- Green circle – Big tree

Also, note the colour hatching for ‘Passable on two levels’ and symbol for ‘Entrance to lower level’ shown on the map.
