Map: Scale 1:7500, 5m contours. Uncrossable boundaries are highlighted in purple and are ONLY to be crossed at marked crossing points. New tree planting on Lanthwaite Hill has "evolved", meaning some mapped vegetation features aren't so obvious (especially at night). The contours however haven't changed and are reliable for navigation!

Terrain: Both Long and Short courses start in a delightful small block of runnable woodland, before heading onto Lanthwaite Hill and then entering the steep rocky slopes of Scale Hill wood. Both courses should be a suitable technical and physical challenge, especially for those racing for extra points to pip their rivals as the Night Series nears its finale. The Easy course is entirely on tracks within Scale Hill wood.

Safety: Take care along the road to the start.  Lanthwaite Hill is very exposed and in wet, windy or icy conditions can be quite a challenge.  Scale Hill wood is steep with alot of crags and rock - take care. As always dress appropriately for the conditions and footwear with a good grip is recommended.
