Trail / Red     3.0km, 140m climb

Long, Short & Trail courses include a "map flip", with both sections printed on the same side of paper.
The changeover control (11 for Long, 9 for Short & 11 for Trail) appears on both sections.

Some lines are bent to improve clarity or to indicate the shortest route around the uncrossable marshes.

Controls may be close together - make sure you read the map closely and check control codes.
