Course Status
- Last checked August 2023. Everything OK – though there are still major works going on around the car park which means post I is currently inaccessible. J may be hard to find, though vegetation has been cut back at the South end. The building work round the Leisure Centre and car park, including new fenced pitches, does not affect the Yellow and Orange 1 courses. For Orange 2, Post I is inaccessible, and a path through the wood gives access to the playing field and H.
- 17 November 2020 – the Start/Finish has been moved to be close to the Hough End Leisure Centre car park, and the courses have been redesigned to match.
