Directions / Parking
Pippingford Park is accessed from the A22 as a left turn about 2km south of Wych Cross. Look for the red and white orienteering signs in each direction before the entrance and the orienteering kite at the entrance.
Map / Terrain
The terrain is a mixture of areas of runnable woodland often with intricate contour detail and open areas in various stages of regeneration which have variable runnability. We will be using the part of the area which has similar terrain to Pippingford Park being used for the CompassSport Cup Final the following day.
Dog restrictions
Dogs are allowed on a short lead and under control at all times in both the car park and on the courses.

Miscellaneous
Ashdown Forest, as many of you will know, is a very special place. It is managed by the Board of Conservators of Ashdown Forest, an independent body. In recognition of the ecological importance of Ashdown Forest and to ensure its protection, it is designated as a European Natura 2000 site and as a Site of Special Scientific Interest under UK legislation. Ashdown Forest is also within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The Conservators have duties laid down by statute which include the following:
To regulate and manage the forest as an amenity and place of resort
To conserve it as a quiet and natural area of outstanding beauty
The Conservators are keen to raise the public’s (and hence our) awareness of their legal duty and, within this, their aim of balancing the interests of all users of the forest.
