White, yellow and orange courses are suitable for unaccompanied Under-16s. The longer courses (red and light green) venture outside the park and cross local roads, so under-16s need to be shadowed / accompanied.
All distances are straight-line distance so you should expect to run up to 25% further on the ground.
