Don't suppose anyone can tell me the genral area of the chase we will be on so I can take a walk around it ?

As I only live about 15 mins away from the chase and I do spend about 6/7 hours a week walking up there, would be nice to see the area we will be off-roading on and the obstacles we will be facing
