  • Course Status

  • Last checked July 2023.  Everything OK.
  • Apparently there is now funding for redevelopment of the central buildings to provide a cafe and toilets.
  • NB. the rides around JJ are increasingly indistinct, though the paths along them are clear enough.
  • NB. TT has been moved away from repeated vandalism – across the path to a new home between two large trees. Make sure you have the latest map !
  • NB. The path up to control C becomes very overgrown in Summer.
  • NB. It is feasible and safe to go between R and DD along the main road pavement.
