Killruddery
The Killruddery Estate is a mixture of mature forest interspersed among working farmland. The map has only had basic survey carried out so is perfect for beginners but will not challenge experienced orienteers. The mature forest is mostly runnable but with considerable bramble and undergrowth which has not been accurately mapped. Stick to paths.
Courses will stay in the forest to the West of Killruddery House and will not go into the ornate gardens.

- Map Notes:
- A faint path on the Yellow course has been taped
- There has been a considerable amount of burning on the west side of the main Brockagh ridge
- Some dark green areas of the map are gorse that was almost impassible, but having been burnt can now be crossed.
- There are some faint new tracks that have not been mapped, and there are a number of firebreaks that have been cut (wide stripes where heather was cut very short). These are very visible from a distance, but are not mapped.
