Car Park Charge: £2 for all day. Please pay with COINS, as payment by card is very very slow.
Terrain: Woodland with variable runnability.
Recent Forestry Work: There has been a lot of recent thinning and clearing of conifers within the Outwoods. This has left a significant floor of brashings. The map has not been updated fully to show the extraction lanes and cleared areas. Courses should avoid the worst of these areas, but you may come across some brashings throughout the woods. Do NOT attempt to climb on any log stacks.
Out of bounds: There is an area adjacent to the car park which is marked as out of bounds. This area must not be entered.
