Courses

Course description:Typical forest of dean woodland. A mix of coniferous and deciduous plantation spread over some fairly steep valley sides. There are areas of old workings and mining spoil tips that add more intricate contour details. The slopes can be particularly slippery when wet. The main valley stream should only need to be crossed on bridges. There is an area on the base of the main valley that is OOB and fenced off where beavers have been released. There are a number of side stream that you may need to cross. One in particular may be problematic in case of torrential rain just before the event. You will be advised how to avoid this when starting if it is a serious issue.
