The car park is fairly small, so share transport if possible. This car park has been used previously.

Terrain
Hermitage Woods are mostly open woodland with a complex path network. There are some gentle undulations in the terrain.

Events
5 TX 2m event combined with an 80m event. The exact format of the 80m event has not yet been finalised, either a Fox-Oring event or a more conventional 80m event, but a bit experimental. Competitors may choose to do either first.

Course lengths will probably be about 4km for each event. There will be a long or short course available for each event.

Fees
£5 for the day.
