A classic moorland and valley orienteering challenge with steep-sided valleys. Exposed open moorland, rising to 516m. Runnability is generally good with an extensive path network and rides. The vegetation is a mixture of grass, heather, bracken and gorse. All steep slopes have scattered crags and some scree. Both bracken, heather and gorse reduce runnability. Human activity makes some paths less obvious and recent bracken cutting makes the terrain faster than shown, or it might not.

The event is on a Saturday this year. Church Stretton railway station is just over a mile away. No planned rail strikes currently. Bus 435 from Shrewsbury drops you closer. There is a £5 parking fee in Carding Mill to non-National Trust members.
