Parking

It might be a little “tight”.

Limited parking is available in the public car park adjacent to registration.

Course Information

Cater from beginners through to a good club standard. We call the courses Hare, Squirrel, Badger and Fox and these offer a clear progression in the difficulty level. Fox course incorporates adult training exercises.

Henlade Hill might be a new area for some of you but if you are doing the Fox you will know the area intimately by the end of it!
