MAPPER'S NOTES:

A complex urban area with numerous alleyways, paths, stairs, culs de sac, and small sections of open parkland.

Courses will include route choices on public roads, there will be very little traffic on Sunday morning but be careful, particularly when passing intersections and driveways. In addition, particpants are likely to encounter residents and other members of the public in the area. This might slow you down on some narrow paths, stairways, and passages - be courteous.
