Terrain: 

This is a nice bit of (mostly) open fell with short grass and good running. Most of the area hasn’t been used for orienteering for many years, and we’re trying out the new map on this event.

Parking: 

There is about 2km of forest road to drive after you leave the public road.
Please drive slowly and carefully.  The last part is shared with the novice course and runners returning from the finish.

Dogs: 

No dogs on the courses

£3.50 Seniors       £2 Juniors

Courses: 

Long Course       4.6 km  250m climbing

Short Course      3.0km   140m climbing

Novice course    1.1 km  50m climbing. The novice course is entirely on forest roads and tracks.

 

Update: Charlotte Watson has provided some additional training for this event.  For the long and the short courses a special map is available with part of the area blanked out (corridor event) to give you an extra challenge.  You choose whether to take a normal map or a special one. There will be no adjustment made to the league – there’ll just be long, short, and novice points as usual.
