Courses

Course description:Houghton Forest is a challenging area, undulating throughout and of mixed runnability. There are some large blocks of beautifully runnable mature beech stands, but also some younger blocks where bramble is a nuisance. The courses will be planned to maximize the use of the most runnable areas, with route choice options elsewhere to limit the amount of exposure to the brambly sections.
Colour coded courses:White, Yellow, Orange, Light Green, Short Green, Green, Short Blue, Blue, Brown
