This looks like fun. Is there anything in the field to hit?

The courses are marked out with wooden posts (smaller diameter than broom handles) driven into the ground by hand. There is ample room between them to complete the layout without getting anywhere near them.

• however the fastest route is obviously to get as close possible! These can mark paintwork if you hit them hard enough!

some layouts may also require reverse gear...

Come down and have a watch, you will learn stuff and look at the field it's pretty flat!
