Scale 1:4,000, updated 2022, minor corrections Summer 2023. Loose control descriptions will be at the start and printed on the map. There is no map legend for Short Green.
Telegraph Woods is one of the best small areas we have outside of the New Forest. There are some interesting Brown features that despite the small size of the woods makes the area quite challenging. Summer vegetation growth has obscured some paths and some new paths have appeared. Vegetation in some areas has made path runs the best option.
Start and Finish
Start 0.7 km and Finish 0.85 km approximately from the event centre.
