  • Course Status

  • Last checked June 2023.  Everything OK. 
  • Aug 10 2021 – control J has been moved a few metres to the junction with the main path, to avoid being overgrown;  a new control S has been installed in a completely new position to avoid brambles and balsam; a new control T has been installed in a completely new position as it had become impossible to get to.   The old posts S and T have been removed. Maps printed after 10 Aug will show the new positions, so make sure you get one!!
  • Feb 2020 – Controls K L X have been moved away from brambles (approx 30m in various directions) so they should be find-able all year round.  The old posts have now been removed – but maps printed from the 25th Feb 2020 onwards will show the new positions.
  • New! You can now record your run using the MapRun App on your Smartphone. Score points and share your results too. Buy the MapRun bundle.  See the Smartphones page for details.
  • The area on the South West of the motorway footbridge can get quite muddy after rain but the paths on the lake side are generally drier.  Some of the posts are hard to find because of the dense vegetation, and some small paths are also overgrown
  • NB.  Post C has been moved to just inside the field to make it more accessible.
