Terrain includes rough trails, open fields, short sections of country lane, low level technical ground, limestone descents that can become slippery, and a swamp. Parts of the route are on grazing land and encounters with cattle are possible. The course is partially marked and marshalled; some navigation and local knowledge may be an advantage.
