We return to the popular Littlemill forest, which might be small but hides dramatic features that tell of a landscape very different from today's peaceful glen. The ridges and lochans are leftovers from the Ice Age when glaciers ground their way across the land.
Terrain / Planner’s Comments: Littlemill has a fine mixture of terrain and vegetation including runnable woodland with minimal wind-blow, open moorland, steep gradients and intricate rides and paths. There are a number of wide marshes and uncrossable lochans which have been used to maximise the opportunities for route choice on the longer courses (please don’t be tempted to try to cross frozen water!).
Maps: Pre-marked and printed on waterproof paper, scale 1:10.000 with 5m contour intervals.
Event centre: Party and Registration /Download are in Farr Village Hall, IV2 6AX on the B851
