Other Notes: 

The Short course will be open fell, with a mixture of short grass and bog.
The Long course will cross an area of stone and rock. 
Gorse that is difficult (or painful!) to cross is shown by narrow green stripes. Gorse that is mostly open enough to run through is not shown.  Bracken is shown by more widely spaced green stripes. By late June some of this will be difficult to get though.

The Easy course is on track, grass,and boggy ground.
