The start is at the Whitecross
School & Leisure Centre. All checkpoints after the first are indoors and there
are again several significant changes to the route: so if you have done the event
previously it was important to read the route description. To sum up we visit
many of the old favourites with some new vistas & challenges thrown in.
The route goes in a
northerly direction to Parkend then on a new route now passing Cannop Ponds then
climbing through the forest to the first checkpoint.
The route then goes west before swinging south
through the Newland Valley then climbs to St Briavels. From there the route goes
through ancient woodland to descend to the beautiful Wye Valley.
The route then follows
the river Wye to Brockweir to cross the river then follows the Wye Valley Walk to re-cross the river at Redbrook.
After a meal it's into
the night to climb over the Kymin then following the High Meadow Trail up past
the Suck Stone & Near Harkening Rock. Decsend through woodland to the Wye
then climb Symonds Yat rock. Another descent to the Wye & on to reach English Bicknor before eventually swinging south through the
heart of the Forest of Dean on a new route to reach Parkend.
The route then continues south following an interesting new
route to the finish.
