  • Course Status

  • Last checked February 2026. Everything OK, but be very careful of the large area of mud near the car park close to R. This is silt from the nearby lake that has been spread out. It might look firm but it’s about knee deep, sticky and smells disgusting. It is easy to avoid.
  • October 2025 – rotted post U by its crumbling log replaced with a new control O, about 20m away, on the corner of the saplings area.
  • June 9 2025 – missing post N replaced with a plaque on the nearby fence corner; charred post J re-planted between the nearby trees. Base map updated with more undergrowth.
  • 26/3/2025 – email from a user says post A has gone missing – replaced 3/4/2025.  
  • NB:  C has been replaced at the path junction close to its old spot which is now behind a high fence.  13/6/2022 – overgrown post B has been moved a few metres to the end of the nearby wall.
  • nb.  Swathes of very small new trees have been planted on the hill, and are now on the map.
  • nb. Changes in park maintenance mean that even more of the open grass (bright yellow) has become much longer rough open grass.

  • A4 Landscape, Scale 1:4000. Last updated June 2025.

  • Start/Finish

  • The Start/Finish is a plaque on a fence corner, pretty much in the centre of the park (though you may have to look behind parked vehicles). The main car park (the red marker above) is about 300m away, at the South entrance of the park – the less busy “main attractions” car park (the orange marker) may be a bit closer.
