Terrain: The course is around residential areas and primarily on paths although a couple of controls are reached via a playing field- beware of high flying cricket balls depending on the time/day you choose!!! Not all (minor) estate paths are marked on the pseudo map
Safety: There are a couple of busy roads on the course. Please take care when crossing and try to do so via permanent road crossings. One section follows an unmade up river path so watch where you put your feet and don't fall in so please take care. Under 16's should be accompanied by an adult. All fences are not to be climbed whether marked on the map or not – this also includes squeezing though holes in fences!
