Courses

Subject to final controlling. 

Course	Distance (km)	Climb (m)	Controls	Technical Level	Who is it for?
White	1.6		9	1	The easiest course and a great place for children to start. The course is entirely on paths and each time you have to make a decision - which path to take, there will be a control point.
Yellow	1.8		9	2	The next step up and a good place for teenagers etc. to start. The course will use paths but also other line features - Fences, streams etc. It will also no longer have a control everytime you need to decide where you are going. For example you may need to make a couple of turns on paths between controls
Orange	2.5		11	3	Harder still, the Orange course introduces: Choosing routes - e.g. should I go round the paths to the left or right Using 'Point Features' as control sites Basic use of a compass
Light Green	3.6		12	4	Harder than the orange.  There will be more route choice, longer legs and controls further off the path.
Short Green	3.3		12	5	All these courses have the same technical difficulty and are planned to be as hard as the area allows.  As the course distance increases the scope for longer legs also increases.
Green	3.9		13
Blue	5.7		16
Brown	8.2		22
Black	10.6		27
