FEES: Senior £7, Junior £2.50, SI dibber hire £1 (Juniors 50p) , Car parking £1 per car.
DIRECTIONS: The area is approximately 10 miles west of Harrogate, just north of the A59. It will be signed from the A59 at the junction in Blubberhouses. Access is via a narrow lane (Hall Lane / West End Lane) to the Yorkshire Water access gate at Nethernooks Bridge (SE 157 565). From the gate, the parking area is a further 700m along a single lane gravel track. A one way system will operate: no exit before 1200 or entry after 1200. There will be a car park charge £1 per vehicle.
TERRAIN: The area is mix of mature woodland in the Washburn river valley below Thrusscross Reservoir, an area of mature plantation some of which is on a reasonably steep slope, some recently cleared areas and a good expanse of mostly runnable heather moorland with some old quarry workings. There are numerous rock features and some areas of bracken, although courses have been planned to avoid the worst of this as much as possible.
