Please use public toilets at nearby at Downhill Beach car park or Benone Tourist Complex.\n\nJunior Fundraiser Refreshment Stall:  Please note there will NOT be a refreshment stall at this event.\n\nDogs S trictly no dogs are allowed in the competition area.\nCourse Notes:\nThis   colour series event returns to the core mature mixed forest and fast ru nnable hillside of Binevenagh. The area is now very mature and subsequentl y in danger of significant clear felling in the not too distant future. Th is may be your last chance to run it at its best!\n\nThe deciduous\, large ly beech\,  areas of the forest (which are visited by Brown\, Blue and Gr een) are in particularly fine condition\, with the low level vegetation no w almost completely gone and the underlying contour detail much more visib le. Some of the mature coniferous sections are a little more scrappy with light wind damage slowing progress in places.\n\nThe hillside remains as f ast as ever - although in areas encroaching whin bushes will add some new route choice problems.\n\nStiles are provided at multiple crossing points and must be used by all competitors. All stiles are clearly marked on the map with the purple overprint symbol.  Permanent stiles are untaped\, but the temporary ones will be taped.\nHazards:\n\n Parents should be aware there are two small fishing lakes adjacent to the car parking and supervis e their children accordingly.\n There is a short steep climb from the fis hing lake to the start area. The route is not suitable for prams and care should be taken\, particularly if the ground conditions are wet.\n All co urses except white and yellow will go up onto the open hillside beneath th e Binevenagh cliffs. Bring a cagoule (and whistle)  and be prepared to ca rry it should the event officials make this mandatory as a result of weath er conditions.\n Courses on the hillside (not white and yellow) cross a  field grazed by ponies. Please do not approach these animals.\n The area contains a number of mountain bike tracks which are mostly disused. Howev er\, please be aware of the possibility of encountering mountain bikes.\n Entrances to the hillside may still display signs warning of the presence of cattle (and a bull). However\, these animals will have been taken off the land before the event.\n\n \; CATEGORIES:Colour Series LOCATION:Binevenagh Forest\, 15 Duncrun Road\, Limavady\, Northern Ireland GEO:55.125769;-6.937757 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=15 Duncrun Road\, Limavady\ , Northern Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Binevenagh Forest:geo:55.125 769,-6.937757 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20170326T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
