Vegetatio n is mostly short and there are a few small sheep paths in addition to a s ingle large track. There are a few small rivers and boggy areas\, as well as a larger river.\n\nPlanner's Notes\nIt has been a beautiful summer but the Mournes are still damp underfoot in places so expect to get muddy!\nTo succeed at Yellow you should be able to follow line features such as stre ams\, paths and walls\, but also be able to make a couple of route choice decisions between controls. There aren’t that many line features on Meel more so a couple of legs will be taped with red and white tape on canes.\n At Orange you should be able to make a route choice\, take a rough compass bearing and cut some corners\, but there are good catching features for a ll controls and usually an alternative route choice via a line feature.\nG reen – not too much climb and generally very runnable. Have fun!\nDirect ions and Parking\n\nPlease time your arrival to limit congregating in the car park- i.e. arrive in time for your pre-allocated start time (allowing for an 800m walk to the Start) but not excessively early. Access Meelmore Lodge from the Trassey Road (BT33 0QB) and take the right-hand fork from t he gateway to the car park in the field behind the buildings.\nRegistratio n will be at the top of the field directly behind the café building. Star t and Finish will be around 800m from Registration.\n\nSafety Notes\n\nALL competitors MUST download their times at registration even if they don't finish the course.  If you fail to download someone will be out looking f or you unnecessarily.\n\nThe car park will be busy\, and opens onto a publ ic road.

Farm vehicles (e.g. quad bikes) may also be encountered on the way to the Start/Finish and in the competition area.\n\nThere are often sheep roaming within the competition area. These are normally docile but please exercise caution around livesto ck.\n\nThe terrain is very rough with boulders\, crags\, slippery slopes a nd some quite deep hidden holes.
