Special Note
Both courses (primarily the long) will make use of artificial barriers that will NOT be marked in the terrain. These will be denoted by thick purple lines with hatching within (see example below). These should be treated as invisible walls that cannot be passed, although if you do accidentally cross one just go back out the way you came and continue on your course as usual.
See you there,
Andrew and Paul
