 n Summary\nTollymore forest is a great place to discover the sport of orie
 nteering. It has a network of paths and tracks to help navigate\, as well 
 as runnable forest with a variety of features. The forest is popular with 
 hikers\, runners\, dog walkers\, horse riders and mountain bikers\, so tak
 e care and treat others with courtesy.\n\nDue to storm damage some smaller
  / indistinct paths are partially obstructed by fallen trees and branches.
   All are passable\, but some may be a little slower than anticipated and
  they may be harder to distinguish on the ground.  All the ‘main’ pat
 hs are clear and fully passable.\n\nThere are some uprooted trees on the c
 ourse due to recent storm damage. It is heavily advised to go around these
  fallen trees as opposed to try to climb over them.\n\n\nPrevious Maps/Rou
