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 have been 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 - the priority in setting all courses has been to make everyone's day challenging, but also as enjoyable as possible - we want to see you all again at future SO events!! |
