Dunrod Hill is a large area of open moorland, with significant contour, rock and water detail, and very little vegetation. There are some patches of heather, but these are generally very runnable and are not separately mapped. Competitors should beware of someunmapped narrow streams concealed by grass, and there are also a few loose strands of farmer’s wireinplaces.All courses have been planned to avoid a steep ravine in the north of the area.
White and Yellow courses have a taped route between two controls in order to ascendthe hill. Please make juniors aware of this prior to their runs.
Permitted barbed-wire fence crossing points are marked on the map and these MUSTbe used for the protection of both competitors and fencing. On some legs there will be a choice of crossing points.
