- Green control pick #1 - 1.7km, 80m climb
- Green control pick #2 - 1.5km, 65m climb
Important map/course information:
- All courses - there are many small paths in this area. Some are marked as indistinct on the map and some are not. Also some paths shown on the map are very indistinct. Beware!
- All courses - the area is full of small and large rhododendron bushes, marked by dark green on the map. Many of these have grown larger or coalesced into each other.
- Orange, Green, Blue - Please note that 2 controls on the Orange course, some controls on each Green course and all of the Blue course controls are training controls. This means that they do not have control codes nor SI units. If you would like to play splits, then please bring your splits watch!
Important safety information - please read:
- The ground is very muddy and slippery so be careful as there are steep banks in places.
- There are huge quarries in the area - all courses pass close to the edges of these. The quarry cliffs are however well fenced off with signs saying Danger. Do not cross these fences. The quarries near the Yellow, Orange and Green are shown as Out of Bounds on the map. Parents are responsible for ensuring that juniors are adequately briefed on this danger.
- All participants take part at their own risk.
Courses close at 2pm - all participants should report to the finish by this time.
