Course Information
The area is muddy with some steep slippery slopes, studs would be an advantage.
The normal Hare, Squirrel, Badger and Fox courses will be available. All courses will be Pin punching only. The Badger (2.2Km 60m) has some technical elements so probably not best for your 1st attempt at Badger. The Fox (3.2Km 70m) is a linear course with longish legs and interesting route choices.
The mobile signal in the woods seems pretty good if you would like to take your phone as backup.
