  • Course Status

  • Last checked November 2023.  Everything OK – and now clear of undergrowth.  December 8th – post T removed from its brambles and the map and courses; post J replaced with a plaque on the gate post; post HL moved a few metres out of its covering tree; post V removed from its brambles and replaced with a plaque on a nearby wooden post.  Makes sure you get the latest map !!
  • NB. (March 2022) a large tree has almost landed on post J, and post U has moved a few metres across the path. Undergrowth has been growing fast.
  • NB. (March 2022)  the footpath under the viaduct going NorthWest from VT is now the edge of a large boulder field, matched by one on the other side of the river, which they are busy installing to save the viaduct stanchions being eroded (see News item).
  • NB. (22/2/2021) – posts Q and M dropped from the map, and post L replaced by a plaque on the gatepost, all due to continued extreme undergrowth.  If you have an old map, note that Post M was rotten and has been removed from the ground as well as the map.
  • NB.  some ruined fences are now no more than lines of posts.
  • NB. (18/5/2020) post E has been moved 20m to a new position at the top of the steps, out of the brambles.
  • In summer, the undergrowth can cause problems, with post LT disappearing into the vegetation, and access to F being hampered by the vegetation. Controls T, HL, TT, VN and to a lesser extent S and C may also be overgrown later in the Summer.
