Terrain:
An area of many terrain types which is bordered by plantation forestry to the east. An intricate path network in the south around the ponds and through the surrounding broadleaved woodland. To the north the land rises steeply over a broadleaved-covered hillside which opens onto contoured, tussocky moorland where it is easy to make parallel mistakes. Clumps of gorse bushes reduce visibility at times.

Coaching tips:

Orange: be prepared for a climb! Choose your route carefully between controls
Light green/Green/Blue; on the moor read the contours carefully and choose a route carefully; use distance judgement (pacing or ‘by eye’)
