Irwell 2, Wild Water Race Northern Counties Series Regional Race Sunday 19th March 2016 CLASSIC AND SPRINT COURSE The course runs through the Burrs Activity Centre Site from just below the weir on the River Irwell at the top through down to below the road bridge to the get-out at the bottom of the site, river left (i.e. on the left hand side of the river looking down-stream).
