The terrain is mainly single track in places and can be wet or boggy on sections affected by logging. The route is described as difficult in poor visibility and there is very little water on the course after the Three Shires Stone. These conditions make appropriate skills and equipment essential for safe navigation and travel on the course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
