 Warrenscourt Wood with its gently sloping woodland has a northerly aspect overlooking the Buingea River and the rich farmland all around it. Once part of the Warrenscourt demesne its Oak and Beech woodlands having become depleted during the 2nd world war were restocked with mainly conifers in the early sixties. The main forest road is a tree lined avenue of beech and sycamore. This was once known as the "Butter Road", used by farmers to bring their butter to the Cork market. No doubt some interesting and challenging orienteering courses await those who venture west next Tuesday evening. ************************** COURSE INFO Short course will be 2.4km Long course will be 4.2km Full leg cover is advisable. ***************** START TIMES Start anytime from 5:30pm to 7pm ***************** DIRECTIONS The event will be signposted from Lissarda on the N22 Cork-Macroom road and the start will be at the Kilmurry entrance to the forest.
