1.8km walk to the start. Similar distance back from the finish which is only a short distance from the start. It is possible (and advisable) to leave extra clothing at the start.
Map / Terrain
Tolquhonie is a lovely Scots pine woodland with good runnability throughout while providing a physical test at the same time. To provide good courses and visit some new bits of the area from 2 years ago there are not very obvious early cut back options and less similarity between the start of the long and medium than other rounds. The long is a great test and enjoyable and I walked round it (and I do mean walked!) in 70mins. That was in the dark with no flags out (though I didn't make many mistakes! ;-) If you are worried about coping with the long then it may be advisable to do the medium.
