The forest floor is dry and planning has tried to avoid summer vegetation to keep various route choices fair. There are many paths criss-crossing the map and a few small rivers and drainage channels\, as well as a larger river which can b e crossed by bridges.\n\nPlanner's Notes\nTo succeed at Yellow you should be able to follow line features\, mainly paths\, but also hedges and very obvious vegetation changes (open land and forest). There will be some simp le route choice decisions to be made between controls.\nFor Orange you sho uld be able to make route choices and take a rough compass bearing to cut some corners through forest. There are good catching features for all cont rols and usually an alternative route choice via a line feature. Full leg covering is advised due to brashing and some summer vegetation.\nGreen – very runnable\, there will be plenty of route choice so quick decision ma king will be key to time gained or lost. Full leg covering is advised due to brashing and some summer vegetation.\nDirections and Parking\n\n Car p arking is free. Please use the upper car park where registration will be b ased.
