Lever Park
Lever Park POC is supported by United Utilities and as of 2006 was mapped with 20 controls, numbered (1) to (20), with suggested colour-coded courses White, Yellow, Orange and Light Green.
Course check notes as at May 2024:
The area around the start and finish has been re-developed with a Go Ape reception; no specific S/F marker was found.
The posts for controls (1), (3) and (20) are missing. Those for (7), (11) and (18) are broken but lying on the ground. Controls (8) and (10) are on temporary posts. The remaining 12 posts are mostly quite tall and in good condition with most painted in white and red at the top; an exception is (4) which is a short post.
Note that the post for control (14) is approximately 20m to the NW of where mapped towards the edge of the circle. Post (16) is on the East side of the bridge. While control (19) is described as a gate, only the metal gate posts are still standing and the fence in which they stood has been removed.
