Course:
This
year the course is approximately 5 miles, from
the start, turn left at bottom of the track, follow the track keeping left unless
told by a marshal. Bear right to go to the bottom of the park where you will be
directed in to the woods. Keep to the edge with the wall on your left
hand side. We will have chalk spray on the path. You will go round
Littlemore 1 and a half times. Leave the park via the wooden bridge, then go into the field, at the bottom you
will be directed through the gate and turn left up the track towards
the farm at the top of track. Go through gate near the end of field, you will be directed
right over stile to a gate which will be open. Down the dip to a tricky stream
crossing, over a wooden bridge up a narrow path to the next marshal, turn
right. Follow the path to the gate, use the stile, continue to follow the track to the road. Turn
left for about 200 to 300 metres to where the road bends right, turn left here and over the cattle grid, there is a short track to
a stile on your left. From here, follow the field straight down, bear right at the top, there will be netting in
place to the metal posts. Turn right, follow the track then through metal posts
again to the bottom of the field, bear left here and cross diagonal across field to metal
posts. Up a tarmac track to the top, there will be a football field to your left and houses to the right. Bear left through woods on the
main track, at the top double back down stocks Lane to the bottom, bear
right up past more metal posts to the top, cross a short track into a field through a stile.Turn immediately right and follow field all the way round to the stile (keep the wall on your right), through 3
stiles, and back out of the gate, take your first right and follow the road for around 400 metres, turn left through a stile and diagonal across the field towards the
farm. At the top of the field go through stile left up the track and then bear right past houses on your left, at
the top turn left down a track, keep right to the bottom to a gate which will
not be open., turn left same way through woods as the start and complete almost a full lap following the line of the woods (wall on your left), finally turn left up the track
to where you started and the finish line.
There will be plenty of marshals, it should be a fast start as the paths narrow in the woods.
