If coming from the west, go past the Wilton chemical works and continue on the A174 towards Saltburn.  The event will be signed from the roundabout at grid reference NZ 609223.  Turn right (i.e. south) and go up the hill and across a crossroads.  The entrance to the car park is on the left, just before the road takes a sharp right at the top of the hill.

Errington Woods is a well established wood with a substantial path / track network, steep-sided slopes and many varied features.

There are many mountain bike tracks throughout the woods and new ones can appear at short notice, so some may not be mapped.

Benches, carved sculptures and mountain bike jumps are not mapped.

Full leg cover is required.  Apart from anything else, there are many areas of brambles!

This wood is used by many local people from the Marske area, and runners should take this into consideration whilst taking part in the event.  Please be particularly aware of horse riders (some of whom may be children) and mountain bikers.

In the event of inclement weather waterproofs may be made compulsory.  Please come prepared.

White, Yellow, Orange, Light Green, Short Green, Green, Blue and Brown

Note: Because the CLOK Entry System was only designed to take entries for small events, it can only handle seven courses .... and this event offers eight courses.  As a workaround, if you want an entry for the White course, please put in an entry for the Yellow course and email the Organiser to let her know that the entry is actually for the White course.  (The system designer apologises for the inconvenience.)
