Map and Terrain
1:10,000 map on A4 waterproof paper, 5m contours.
Open heathland and runnable woodland. The woodland areas are linked by a network of forest tracks and rides around uncrossable marshes. Large amounts of rain recently has led to standing water on some open areas and some depressions now being full of water. These features are not mapped as wet areas and competitors should be cautious if attempting to cross.
Facilities
Portable toilets will be provided in the car park.
Use of the New Forest
The area is used by the general public for leisure, dog walking and cycling, please be aware and courteous to other forest users.
The area is frequented by ponies, deer and livestock and the usual precautions to avoid infection apply. Please avoid disturbing or frightening the livestock as best you can. Be aware of the risk of kicks and bites.
