Claro welcome you to Harlow Hill and Birk Crag for a YHOA regional event.

Harlow Hill is an area of mixed woodland with a good path and track network . This event will also use the recently remapped area of Birk Crag which offers a more technical challenge for the longer courses.

We will be based at the new GirlGuiding Birk Crag Centre off Cornwall Road where we will offer indoor facilities, toilets and refreshments.
