Directions / Parking
Please take care turning into the area as traffic travels fast along this road.
We will sign the entrance with the JOG banner as it’s hard to put signs out along the road.
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.
