A claggy recce only emphasises the need to PRINT OUT A MAP! for the race. Although the route largely follows the fence line it’s easy to lose sense of direction and distance run in the mist, and probably in good visibility too if your navigation is rubbish. There are two and only two fence junctions. The first after a short ascent from Cowlemuir Hass (where you need to follow the other branch on descent) and the second, on the left, indicating you are at Trahenna. 500m down the fence line from Trahenna take a right fork (pictured). Ignore old map line and take the obvious right most green lane below then, unless the route is marked differently on Wed, go around the copse on the right, crossing no fences or going through any gates, then back along the main track to the finish cottage.
