The Start is in the woods on the Oldbury Hill side of Styants Bottom Road, approximately 300m from the parking. Route will be taped from Styants Bottom Lane after crossing the A25. Juniors must be accompanied. There are 2 finishes:
- For the yellow, orange and score course the Finish is 300m north of the Start on Oldbury Hill. Route from here will be taped back to the Start.
- The Finish for green and blue courses is in the western quadrant of the map. Return route will not be taped - go north until you meet the E/W track that you entered the NW quadrant of the map on and then retrace your route back to Styants Bottom Rd.
All competitors should then follow Styants Bottom Road to A25 and back to parking - juniors to be accompanied please.
Contactless electronic timing enabled for the event, (SIAC), although a basic timing dibber can also be used, (basic timing devices provided free of charge if you don't have one). Punching Start & Finish.
