Area bisected by a mix of walking and biking trails popular with local users and tourists. Runnability varies from beautiful open forest to slow running through undergrowth. 3) A flat area with nil contour containing patches of forest, some clean and some green, interspersed by large clearings and grassy fields. Many tracks bisect this area, mostly linear, and also drainage ditches which should be crossed with caution. Setter - Phil White Controller – Greg Flynn |
