Pre-entry:   Pre-entry has now closed and although we ordered extra maps quite a few people have entered late so we don’t have many left.  Email:  help@roxburghreivers.org.uk if you wish to enquire about map availability – we may be able to print a few extra maps on a home printer or we may recycle maps from early finishers on Saturday.  At at Wednesday evening we have 1 Yellow, 3 Orange, 2 Red and 0 Green maps.

Terrain description:  A fairly flat woodland with lots of paths.  The map has been updated in the last month to reflect changes caused by storms, felling and thinning activities mainly in the north-east of the map.  Watch out for other users –  walkers, dogs, horses.  Thanks to Roxburghe Estates for access permission.
