Beginner: 2.6 km on or just off trail

For those not familiar with this area - this is classic North Shore terrain - lots of trails and relatively steep terrain with some interesting contour features. The planning has tried to avoid route choices through the thicker parts of the area.

For those on longer courses consider taking some water with you especially as it is going to be a hot day.
