Brown Clee

Brown Clee

One of the club’s very best areas; it covers a massive expanse – all of which can be used for orienteering and has been used for major events like the British Long Distance championships and the Easter JK festival. This area is a real challenge for experienced orienteers. Newcomers can either play safe with an easier course or be prepared to be out for a long time! It is private woodland and farmland with no public access.

One large hill with two summits. Mixed plantation and fields on the lower slopes with a good path/ride network. Does not suffer from brambles, bracken not a serious problem before June. Exposed moorland on top – most straight forward fast run – old earthworks, parallel streams valleys and re-entrants but 2 heavily worked areas full of hazy vegetation changes, pits, marshes, spoil heaps – as technical as you can get in the midlands.
