Milkham and Holly Hatch near Ringwood, Hampshire. It is a typical New Forest area with a mixture of open forest and heathland. The map is 1:15 000 with 5m contours and was re-surveyed in 1998 for that year's November Classic. The car park being used is at grid reference SU 202102. The map below shows how to get there from Junction 1 of the M27.
The following three courses are on offer:
| 1 | 9.6km | 170m climb | 12 controls | Mens A |
| 2 | 7.6km | 120m climb | 16 controls | Mens B Womens A |
| 3 | 5.8km | 120m climb | 12 controls | Mens C Womens B |
Starts for OUOC/CUOC will be from midday. Competitors on the same course will start at eight minute intervals, alternating between Oxford and Cambridge. Each team must register their start order, prior to the first start time, when collecting their control cards. The cards will be tyvek and will not need covering. Stubs will not be collected. Control descriptions will be on display at registration.
Starts for guest runners will be after two o'clock. Please go to registration in the car park to get a start time and control card. Those who are not going on to the meal/social will have to pay two pounds when registering.
The start and finish are both within 100m of the car park. There will be a one minute call-up at the start. Times will not be adjusted for those who turn up late. Maps will be bagged with written control descriptions attached.
Control sites will have orange and white kites with two letter codes written on each side. There will be two punches at each control.
Everyone should report to the finish. Maps will be collected until after the last start. Orange squash will be provided at the finish. They can be reclaimed from registration or later in the evening.
There will be no results display at the event - if only to draw out the suspense! The winning teams will be announced at the social. There will be a sheet at the hall on which people can write splits for comparison.

This will be in 'The Barn' at Foxlease guide camp, just south of Lyndhurst. We are allowed in from 2pm.
Turn right out of the event car park. Then, don't turn left back the way you came, instead, continue straight on under the A31. When you reach Lyndhurst you have to go clockwise round the one-way system as shown in the map below. Please drive slowly once in the camp and park in the car park (not in front of the house). At the far end of the car park, the Barn is about 50m to your left.
There are 24 bunk beds in dormitories, showers, a kitchen and a large hall. There are twice as many of us as there are beds so please bring a karrimat in case you have to sleep on the floor. You will also need to bring a sleeping bag. Unfortunately, the swimming pool isn't open at this time of year.
Dinner on the Saturday night will be a delicious spaghetti bolognese along with a veggie option. Please bring a plate and cutlery as we may be short. Breakfast will also be provided.
As well as organising the food, Tim Smith has laid on an excellent social. We have hired a sound system and lights and Tim will be bringing a huge musical selection. If you have obscure tastes, then Tim might not have it, but then, we probably don't want to hear it either. This will be preceded by the prize giving, but only if those who have trophies return them!
Last, but by no means least, there is the beer race. Bitter and plastic glasses will be provided. Teams will consist of nine people of which at least one must be a woman. One of the team will drink a half of beer (or whatever other alcohol they provide).
