Introduction
HAVOC Regional & SWELL
Terrain Description
Formed of ancient deciduous woodland, parkland, meadows and streams of the former Dagnam estate deer park. It offers fast courses through runnable terrain where maintaining map contact at speed will be a challenge. The ancient woods have many earth and water features and are heavily grazed by wild fallow deer so undergrowth is minimal.
Despite the lack of undergrowth, full arm and leg cover is recommended, due to the large number of wild deer in the park.
Parking
From the M25 J28 junction: Take the A12 west for 1 mile (along Colchester Road). Keep in the outside lane and take the right filter lane, at the second set of traffic lights, into Petersfield Avenue (signposted Harold Hill). Then take the second right into Dagnam Park Drive. After half a mile turn right into Settle Road. The event centre is at the far end of Settle Road at Drapers’ Academy school site, RM3 9XR. TQ551927.
