A small wood but packed with bell pits and other interesting contour detail. Split between deciduous smaller trees with lovely spring flowers( hopefully!) and coniferous plantation that is very mature. Newly re mapped by Peter Gorvett 1:5000 with 2.5m contours.
Registration for courses will open from 1000-1230. You can start from 1100-1300 please try to use your allocated start block, the courses close at 1430. The British University and college Championships relays are taking place earlier in the morning, but the leaders should be clear of the forest by 11:00. Please warn children that there may be signs of this event in the forest, particularly an alternative finish which needs to be ignored.
