Details
| Description: | The forest in Touch is a mix of mature deciduous and plantation, runnable with highly complex terrain. The longer courses will include several legs on the muir. The area was last used in 2015 and has recently been re-mapped by Martin Bagness. This a great opportunity to run a high quality course in superb woodland and terrain. The event is easily accessible, parking and assembly will be at Stirling Park & Ride near junction 10 on the M9. There will be a shuttle bus running regularly between here and the event area and a marquee for clothing dump and waiting at the bus dropoff point. There will be no parking at the event area. Entries will be opened in the autumn. We hope that there will be a SOL event run on the Sunday, details to be confirmed. As the event facilities are dispersed we expect the prize giving to be at the event on Sunday. The terrain is tough in places and the route to the starts is likely to include a steep bank on slippery ground. Courses are planned as appropriate for the age categories within the constraints of the terrain. Jackets, whistles and spare torches will be mandatory, there will be a kit check |
