Please Note: There are streams/ ditches on some optimum routes mainly flowing north into ponds, some of these have rocky bridges on the stream bed. The same symbol is used for these as for narrow wood dams. The wooden dams across the watercourses are crossable with care though might be slippery when wet. In dry weather the water courses are dry.
There are road crossings on all courses and many roads have bends. Take care crossing any road however minor it may seem.
