Last edited: Sat 6 Jun 2020

The following is a list of areas with good quality terrain with the potential to host a course.

Please let Jeff Pakes know (see contacts page) if you would like to get involved in this process of planning a course.

Maps have in most cases been sourced from the freely available Open Orienteering Maps
