Courses:
The usual range of NWNL courses i.e. Orange, Green and Blue. The day event on Sunday 19th November uses a different part of the area so all the day courses are different to the night courses.

High quality technical open Lakeland fell terrain. Please note, the Orange course is partly in the forest.
