Spring Cup 1 – Belfast Castle

Spring Cup 1 update. Fred and I spent a rather damp morning finalising the controls. Maps for Green and Orange will be on 1:7500 scale and Yellow on 1:3000. Leg protection and good grips are advised and the Yellow (shortest) is not suitable for prams. A further update with timings etc will appear later in the week. Note: That is the initial plan mapwise but if not the longer 2 will be on 1:10000.
