COURSE

Course Map

Please note that controls must be visited in numerical order.

  • From the start, follow the obvious track to the river - staying on the track/path at all times - and cross the bridge. On the far side of the Tholty Road, climb the stile and ascend Mount Karrin (CP1/9).

  • Head SW from the summit to gain access to the plantation at the gate at CP2/8.

  • Follow the flags through the plantation and exit at the Druidale Road (Manned safety CP).

  • After a short section of road, access the green lane towards Slieau Dhoo. Once through the gate, ascend to CP3: Slieau Dhoo by any route.

  • Drop NW from the summit to CP4 and follow the gulley downstream (either side) to the stream junction: CP5.

  • Cross the old fence and ascend the steep climb, following the stream and keeping right - staying out of the plantations on either side, then contour using any route to CP6.

  • Without crossing the fence on your left, use any route to CP7.

  • From the gate, the route is now the reverse of the outward leg to the finish.
