Routegadget ma ps and courses can be found here.\n\nAs the forest is relatively small and the courses are dense the purple lines between controls may be bent in so me cases. They may even cross the lake – do not take this as an invitati on to swim! The lake is out of bounds! There is a recent extraction track not marked on the map.\n\nFor the blue course main paths have been removed from the map. The blue course will have a map turn (first part of the cou rse on one side\, second part on the other side).\n\nControl circles are 3 7.5m diameter on the ground to avoid overlap.\n\nThe map is based on a pre vious map by R Goffe\, H White and E Wilson. Survey and cartography by Ste phen Gilmore 2007. Updates 2011\, 2015 &\; 2019 by Bill Simpson. Some m ap editing took place following Storm Eowyn by S Gilmore and R Gamble with some further editing for this event by G Collins. Not every fallen tree i s mapped.\n\n\nTerrain Summary\nStorm Eowyn gave Hillsborough Forest quite a battering. The upside is that the forest has been given a refreshed and unfamiliar look. There will be renewed challenge for those of you who kne w the “old” forest.\n\n \n\nThere has been vigorous summer growth wher e Storm Eowyn opened the canopy. This\, together with a confusion of falle n and uncleared trees\, has reduced visibility in the forest considerably. \n\n\n\nFallen trees may play a part in frustrating efforts to go in a str aight line and reducing visibility. Competitors in the blue and green cour ses may expect to encounter fallen but crossable trees crossing paths. See the photographs below.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFirst Aid and Safety\nThe forest is i n a messy state with half fallen trees. The event will be subject to a win d-safety review based on the weather forecast in the days before the event .
