Map and terrain
All courses will start at Lee Quarry and finish in the parks.
Lee Quarry is very technical, with some fiendish navigation due to the multitude of contour detail and black features. It also boasts a network of mountain bike trails. Off-piste, the area is either very runnable, or impossibly slow through boulder fields.
The parks on the other hand provide fast terrain, ideal for snappy urban style orienteering. There is a good path network and some hidden gems!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Please be aware of the LCC warning signagearound Lee Quarry regarding land slippage. We have seen these signs and assessed the area — they donot affect any of our planned routes or participant safety, but we ask everyone to take note of the warnings and follow any posted guidance.
There is also a locked farm gate located above the farm. The farmer has asked that this gate is not used. This will not affect participants, as there is only one control in this area and using this gate would significantly increase the route length across the field. Further details of this at the start.
