Please have a £1.00 parking fee ready when you arrive which will go to the landowner who has kindly given us permission and moved stock for this event.
Terrain The courses are run on the N and W facing slopes of Gwanas hill, mostly on open fell, with very brief shelter at the start in the forest. Only one course re-enters the forest. There is considerable climb in the blue and brown courses and there are several water courses and well-mapped marshes, plus some very large crag formations on the fell. The vegetation on the fell is sheepgrazed, offering reasonable runnability.
