Last checked September 2020. Everything OK. Vegetation is a problem at N, DD & Y. The path through the woods north from J is closed, but there are 2 alternatives.
Watch out for shooting parties that may restrict access in some parts.
(NB. May 2017: post P moved away from unpleasant litter; post EE moved away from bracken; post BB moved to below the fence. The old posts have been left in place, so old maps will still work for a while.)

Start/Finish
Start S1 is about 500m SouthEast of the Car Park, along the road past the Sailing Club.
Start S2 is about 200m North of the car Park, across the dam.
The stated Wheelchair/White distance does not include these extras.
Some courses finish at the other Start. eg. Blue and Wheelchair/White start at S1 and finish at S2; Green starts at S2 and finishes at S1..
