Directions. From Feilding, drive to the intersection of North Street and West Street. Follow West Street which turns into Hslcombe Road up the hill past Ranui Place. The event will be signposted off Halcombe Road at Hill Road.If coming from the opposite direction, watch for the signs on the right after you pass Mt Taylor Drive on the Left. Take care entering and leaving Hill Road. Park where directed.

Terrain. Rolling hill farm country with small blocks of forestry. Generally fast running with red courses offering route choice options on various legs. Some paddocks are less fast due to sheep not having eaten all that they can as yet.  Any electric fences are permanently turned off. When climbing fences or going through gates. Please leave gates as you found them. If climbing over gates, climb them at the hinge end.

Ideal practise for the Manawatu schools champs in May which is also on farmland.
