farmhouse. The gate to the venue is on the left-hand side of the farmhouse.
Terrain
The terrain includes trees, a stream, farmland and a steep
slagheap. This can be very unforgiving for beginners. Occasionally the farmland
is used for section, which is more rider friendly.
Parking and Accessibility
Parking is now restricted to the venue side of the main
road for both spectators and competitors. Riders must ride up to the venue.
Spectators have an uphill climb to the venue and once there depending on where
the sections are situated it can be quite a trek.
