Map and terrain
Letcliffe Park (a new area for PFO) slopes steeply uphill from north to south. It is mapped at 1:2000 on A4. The area is classic parkland but with some unusual features and quirky control sites.
Take care on steep and mossy paths after rain. They may be slippery. Most steep paths have a handrail - use it!
Course information

Second part: Pot the zero value control (control 150), to signal that you are transferring to the final colour sequence. It will be near to the Yellow control.
