  • Last checked December 2023 – everything OK. The river path may be closed for periods for repairs.

  • 23/10/2021 – control T has been moved from its underwater platform to the back of the nearby bench. The archery area is now on the map, as Out-of-Bounds.
  • Feb 2020 – the often-flooded path between EE and TC has been resurfaced and is open again.
