Because the Urban courses involve road crossings, under 16s can only tackle these courses if accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.
For the Score course you will find it useful to wear a watch to keep within the time limit. The Score course will again have an extra rule – odd numbered controls don’t count after you have visited any even numbered control.
Lodge Grounds is regularly used by dog walkers.
