Bylaugh Wood and Bawdeswell Heath are separated by the B1147 Road that runs East/ West between
them. Each has distinctive characteristics as detailed below.

Bylaugh Wood is approximately 68 hectares in area and is situated to the North of Bylaugh Hall. Access/ egress
to the start and finish points is made using a single designated path (250m) that crosses open farmland.
Competitors must use this path ONLY. The track to the West is marked ‘out of bounds’ and must not be used.
The woodis very runnable- largely open and flat, but some vegetation persists. Large areas of Rhododendrons
are located through the central region of the wood and a path network covers most of the area. The North side
of the wood adjacent to the B1147 becomes more contoured as it descends toward the road.
The SE corner of the wood area that is in proximity to private dwellings has a large depression area.
While not marked as ‘out of bounds’ competitors should avoid this area and no controls are located there.

Bawdeswell Heath is smaller in area– 19 hectares approx., more contoured, and features an extensive path
network and many small knolls, depressions and pits. There is a stream running parallel to the B1147- East/
West and, dependent upon previous rainfall, seasonal marsh.
