The clue is in the name, you will get dirty, think cross country running.
Starting in a school field all facilities are taken care of in the school building. Big inflatable start gantry you can't miss it.
Rou d the school field, onto canal tow path for a few miles before getting off road in the Rushmere Country park & surrounding areas.
Lots of farmers fields, a few wooden bridges & gates to get past.
Then it's back along the canal path opposite direction as before to the school to finish.
Water stations were at places it's convenient to have one rather than regular intervals.
