Castle Hill - Anstey
Safety: The area is split into two by A46, where the score course crosses the A46 you must use the tunnels or bridge. See Safety Assessment Advice Sheet which is to be found at the Gorse Hill start.
The area is actively managed by volunteers. The minor paths and woodland change fairly regularly. The area is part of a flood protection scheme and can be very wet and muddy.
Score Course: For a Score course you find as many as you can in 45 minutes and get penalties if you are late. Normally 10 points per control and lose 10 points for each minute late.
