Thi s one-time grand demesne consists of some rough grazing parkland near the old castle and large areas of mainly Sitka Spruce plantation with mixed ru nnability. Recent forest operations have created many new but unmapped ext raction tracks and a lot of brashings. Some areas of older deciduous and c oniferous trees are badly invaded by rhododendron. Courses have been plann ed to make best use of the runnable areas of woodland and route choice opt ions around the plentiful forest roads and tracks.\nScale 1:10000  Contou rs 5m\n\nCourses\nWhite  1.4km  20m\nYellow  1.7km  45m\nOrange       2.3km     50m\nLg Orange 3.3km  70m\nLt Green 3.4km  70 m\nGreen  4.2km  105m\nBlue  5.3km  115m\nBrown  7.0km  175m\n \nThe Club has recently upgraded the SI firmware on all SI stations.

 Stephen also made extensive map updates to the forest section following the recent felling\, making beautiful cartograph y out of my pen-and-ink artist's impressions of where the new paths might perhaps go.  Davy very ably looked after all the organisation\, including my somewhat random requests ("Can you stop in the garage &\; pick up 8 creme eggs on your way to the forest?")\n\nTill the next time............ .\n\nSusan (Planner)\n---------------------------------------------------- --\nFinal details for Sunday:\n\nRegistration is in the forest car park\, opening at 13:45.  Once registration closes at 14:15 we will all walk tog ether to the start\, a short distance away from the MOO.  If you are aged 16 or over "adults"\, you will have a 45 minute score\, starting at 14:30 .  If you are aged under 16 "children"\, you will have a 30 minute score\ , starting at 14:45.  So everyone will be finishing at the same time.  R emember a watch!\n\nSwimming in the Lagan is not allowed!\n\nAdults will b e using both the forest and the urban area.  The forest is muddy &\; s lidey.  Choose your footwear wisely.  Urban means traffic.  Remember yo ur green cross code.  Here's a link to a wee reminder  This is the first O event on the new Belvoir Estate map - please be respectful of local res idents and stay off private property (marked olive green on your map).\n\n Children will be in the forest area only.  The only traffic you may encou nter is on the access road and in the car park.  If you're under 16 you m ust run the children's version (sorry\, you can't 'run up' to the adult's version).  This is one of BOF's rules.\n\nIf you're new to O\, you may wi sh to run the children's version\, and in addition there is a small practi ce exercise in the car park.  Don't be scared by the word 'championship'\ , everyone is very welcome.\n\nLook forward to seeing you all on Sunday.\n --------------------------------------------------------\n1st event of the year is on the club radar.  Itchy feet ?  Well\, get your fix at Belvoi r club score champs on Sunday 5th Feb.  The Moo will be located close to\ , or in the car park . Lets be honest\, it's hard to miss and will be well signed.  Registration is from 13.45 - 14-15 with mass start less than 2 mins walk from the moo at 14.30.  No 2 k hikes for this one. How easy can it be ?  So if you got a new compass or O shoes for Christmas now is the time to make everyone jealous and show off your new gear.\n\nTerrain is a mix of urban and forest or if you are me\, that means buildings and loads of green stuff so trail shoes are recommended.  All dogs welcome but mus t be on leads in the urban area\, so you may prefer to leave your Rover at home.\n\nChildren under 16 will be in the forest section only\, no leads required.\n\nGroups welcome but please let us know in advance so as I can organise enough maps\n\nFeel free to contact me at davy@lvo.org.uk or on 0 7971040729 CATEGORIES:Championships,LVO Fixtures LOCATION:Belvoir Forest Park\, Forest Carpark\, Belfast\, BT8 7QT\, Norther n Ireland GEO:54.55763349999999;-5.929226800000038 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Forest Carpark\, Belfast\, BT8 7QT\, Northern Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Belvoir Forest Park: geo:54.55763349999999,-5.929226800000038 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:0-149@lvo.org.uk DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20170211T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20170211T130000 DTSTAMP:20170125T084350Z URL:https://lvo.org.uk/allfixtures/ni-score-championships-2/ SUMMARY:NI Score Championships DESCRIPTION:Please see NIOA website for final details and timings.\n\nhttp: //www.niorienteering.org.uk/events/ni-score-championships-2/ CATEGORIES:Championships,NI Fixtures LOCATION:Drumnaph Woods\, Halfgayne Road\, Maghera\, Londonderry\, BT46 5PB \, Northern Ireland GEO:54.8848486;-6.698744499999975 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Halfgayne Road\, Maghera\, Londonderry\, BT46 5PB\, Northern Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Drumn aph Woods:geo:54.8848486,-6.698744499999975 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:0-150@lvo.org.uk DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20170211T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20170211T180000 DTSTAMP:20170125T084739Z URL:https://lvo.org.uk/allfixtures/ni-night-championships-2/ SUMMARY:NI Night Championships DESCRIPTION:Please see NIOA website for final details and timings.\n\nhttp: //www.niorienteering.org.uk/events/ni-night-championships/ CATEGORIES:Championships,NI Fixtures LOCATION:Drumnaph Woods\, Halfgayne Road\, Maghera\, Londonderry\, BT46 5PB \, Northern Ireland GEO:54.8848486;-6.698744499999975 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Halfgayne Road\, Maghera\, Londonderry\, BT46 5PB\, Northern Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Drumn aph Woods:geo:54.8848486,-6.698744499999975 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:0-161@lvo.org.uk DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20170217T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20170217T200000 DTSTAMP:20170224T152147Z URL:https://lvo.org.uk/allfixtures/armagh-sprint-weekend-night-event/ SUMMARY:Armagh Sprint Weekend -

Yes folks – another brand new map to challenge us! T he competition area is adjacent to the City Park (Craigavon Lakes) with pa rking and registration at the Watersports Centre (BT64 1AS\, ‘Lakes Roun dabout’ on the A3 Lurgan to Portadown Road).\n\nYou don’t need to be a n expert to compete! There are courses for everyone. Come along and try yo ur hand at an Urban Sprint event.\n\nThe competition takes place in modern housing estates with pedestrian and cycle paths\, alleyways\, and open sp aces. Most of the hard surfaces are tarmacadam but many of the paths are m ade of paving slabs that can become treacherous when wet.

You are wel come to join us even if you are not a member of the club (for insurance pu rposes you may attend two events as a non-club member but after that you n eed to join an orienteering club).\n\nThis event is on private farm and fo restry land and is a rare opportunity to see some of the most beautiful vi ews in County Down. Those on the green course may enjoy a stunning view to wards the Mourne Mountains.\nRegistration\, Start Times and Closing Time\n \n Registration will be alongside the car-park from 11:00. Allow 20 minu tes to walk from registration to the start.\n Starts are from 11:30 to 13 :00.\n Courses close at 15:00\, at which time controls will be lifted.\n\ nDirections and Parking\nThe map at the top of this post shows the locatio n of Slieve Garron. Parking is off the Clonvaraghan Road at the Seeconnell Private Home. This is a private residential home and we are grateful to the management for their use of the car-park. Please respect their wishes to park in the zone shown below or as directed on the day...please keep en trances/exits clear.\n\n[caption id="attachment_5786" align="alignnone" wi dth="530"] Park in red zone[/caption]\n\nThe route to the start is 1km alo ng a quiet public road. There is no footpath. Please accompany children.\n \n[caption id="attachment_5787" align="alignleft" width="607"] Slieve Garr on - Route to Start[/caption]\nMap\nSlieve Garron is an intricately contou red area with a triangle of runnable coniferous woodland to the NE and ope n hillside elsewhere. The mountain rises to 380m at its highest point. The map is 1:7\,500 with contour intervals of 5m. Light green forest is runna ble.\n\n[caption id="attachment_5704" align="alignleft" width="109"] Conto urs on Slieve Garron[/caption]\n\n \;\nCourses\nThere will be three co urses\, details for each course are:\n\n Green 4.2km\, 195m climb\, 18 co ntrols\n Orange 2.6km\, 125m climb\, 15 controls\n Yellow 1.9km\, 85m cl imb\, 11 controls\n\nVery Important Notice about Fences\nThe land-owners h ave been very open and obliging in permitting us to use their property for this event. The area is crisscrossed with fences\, some newly erected. Th e courses have been planned with a view to minimising the need to cross fe nces. It is essential that you cross fences only at crossing points shown on the map or at gates. Any competitor found crossing at other points wil l be disqualified. There is one exception on the Green course. A fence mus t be crossed between controls 16 and 17. No crossing point has been design ated as this would compromise route choice and the  fence at this point i s easy to step over every 10m or so.\n\nOn the day the crossing points wil l be marked with red and white tape and will be at points where the fences may be stepped over (not climbed over). Please report any damage to fenc es to the organiser.\nSafety\nEscape route: A road completely circumnaviga tes Slieve Garron so in the worst case going downhill in any direction wil l take you to a road but unless there is an overriding factor escape is to the E to join the road.\n\nLivestock: The SE area was being grazed by by cattle (two to be precise!) during the early stages of planning. There wil l be information at the MOO as regards the situation on the day. A neighbo ur told me the cattle were used to people and were friendly!\n\nWalk to/fr om the start: There will be a walk of 1km along country roads to/from the start. Please take care and children should be accompanied.\n\nExposed roc k and steep mountain side: All courses have "cliffs" as features - these a re generally only a couple of metres high but you should take care if appr oaching from above - go around rather than over please! The green course c rosses some steep mountain side but the course has been planned to avoid t he worst of this.\n\nYounger juniors: The yellow course is on the lower pa rt of the hillside and in the forest. It is a small forest and if you get terribly lost you can always go directly east where you will see the road\ , you can then relocate or make your way back to the start by following th e edge of the forest (but keeping off the road).\nSpecial Notes for Yellow Course\nLinear Features\nThis is a challenging area in which to plan a ye llow course because of the absence of paths which would typically be used as "linear features". However it provides an opportunity to extend your sk ills to recognise other linear features. Linear features used may include: \n\n the edge of distinct marshes\,\n ruined walls\,\n vegetation bound aries\,\n earthbanks\,\n water channels.\n\nSome fallen trees may force you away from directly following a linear feature but you should be able t o go round them and pick up the feature again.\n\n[caption id="attachment_ 5706" align="alignleft" width="225"] The edges of this distinct marsh are linear features (see the red lines where the long marsh grass ends).[/capt ion]\n\n[caption id="attachment_5708" align="alignleft" width="225"] Earth banks can be hard to spot![/caption]\nControls offset from Linear Features \nThe general rule for yellow courses is that you should be able to naviga te to a control by using linear features as a hand-rail. Often a control w ill be on a linear feature but this need not be the case - for a yellow co urse they may be offset from the linear feature but visible from it (only 10-20m from it). This will be the case on the yellow course for this event . Keep your eyes about you and use the full range of linear features!\nTap ed Sections\nDue to the lack of paths a section of a leg may be taped - wh ere this is the case it will be stated on the control descriptions. The ta pes will be red and white hanging tapes at intervals of 10-20 metres. The tape will take you to a linear feature from where you can find your way on ward.\n\n[caption id="attachment_5709" align="alignleft" width="285"] This is how the control card will look.[/caption]\n\n[caption id="attachment_5 710" align="alignleft" width="102"] Taped routes are shown with dashed lin es.[/caption]\nMap v Reality\nAnother thing worth being aware of is that a feature marked as a water feature on the map can dry up when the weather is dry - so what is represented by the symbol for a minor or seasonal wate r course on the map may be a dry ditch on the day.\n\n[caption id="attachm ent_5705" align="alignleft" width="225"] This may be shown dashed blue on the map - but the weather was dry when this picture was taken.[/caption]\n Features worth knowing\nIt will help you to know how these features are re presented on a map (see maprunner):\n\n wall\,\n ruined wall\,\n earth bank\,\n vegetation boundary\,\n fence\,\n gate\,\n crossing point\,\n water channel.\n\nSocial\nIf you wish to meet up afterwards to compare r outes here are some possibilities.\n\n If you drive towards Dromara down Dree Hill you will reach Finnis. At the junction with the Rathfriland Road are the James King bar and turning  right after 70m or  so I have seen a "fancy cake" shop - I don't know the opening hours of either (how very r estrained of me) and the cake shop may or may not be open for tea/coffee.\ n In Dromara are several places - the Village Grill (non-fried food avail able!)\, O'Reilly's and Square One Bistro.\n\nPeople\n\n Organiser - Aile en McCarron\n Planner - Geoffrey Collins\n Controller - Michael Burton\n \nAll the best for the day!

Both Seniors and Juniors will have 45 minutes to accumulate as many points as possible.

Chairperson Steph has some interesting ideas to present on club activities which will be worth hearin g.

The walk includes some rough ground so it might take you longer that you think.\n\nIt’s mandatory to carry a whistle (you can buy one at Registr ation).

The return to Stormont. \n\n 45 minute score event with variations to keep the fast people amused.\n\nE ntry is via the Massey Avenue gate - Google Maps Link\n\nParking is in the staff car park at the South East end of Parliament Buildings - Google Map s Link\n\nPLEASE DOWNLOAD AND PRINT THIS PARKING PERMIT and display it on your dashbaord when in the estate.\n\n Registration from 13:30\n Mass st art at 14:00\n\nFormat Simple:  Standard 45 minute score. \n\nAll contro ls are worth 1 point.\n\nThe shortest route to get all 25 controls is 3.9k m so in 45 minutes it is well in the reach of any WEE competitors.\n\nForm at Complex:   45 minute score with controls in chains\n\n\nHowever to ge t more points runners can collect controls in chains of sequential numbers . However this will add distance.  Eg if you go to 103\; 104\; 105. They will be worth 1+2+3 points. If you then go to 106 it will be worth 4 point s etc. ( If you just go 103\; 105\; 104\; 106 it would be worth the simple 1+1+1+1 points).  You can collect the controls in as many pairs or chain s as you can.\n\nThe longest chain is all 25 controls giving a total of 1+ 2+3.... +24+25 =  325 points. The Orienteering length of this is 9.5km so unless Mark Stephens or Josh O’Sullivan Hourihan turn up runners will a t some point have to take a control out of sequence and break the chain. H ow few breaks and where you take them significantly affects both the dista nce to be covered and the number of points that can be achieved.\n\nExperi enced orienteers should declare in advance if they are going for all contr ols or just collecting a few to avoid simply running round as a linear cou rse and stopping at 45 minutes. (It is supposed to be score training). If going for them all and missing the last ones penalties will be accrued.\n\ nLate returns. Up to\n\n 1 min -1 point\n 2 mins - 4 points (2x2)\n 3 m ins - 9 points (3x3)\n 4 mins - 16 points (4x4)Etc\n\nSounds more complic ated in explanation than to get out and run it.\n\nSee you all on Sunday\n \nRichard V CATEGORIES:LVO Fixtures,Training LOCATION:Stormont Estate\, Prince of Wales Avenue\, Belfast\, BT4 3TA\, Nor thern Ireland GEO:54.601283;-5.83525 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Prince of Wales Avenue\, Be lfast\, BT4 3TA\, Northern Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Stormont Est ate:geo:54.601283,-5.83525 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:0-423@lvo.org.uk DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20200122T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20200122T193000 DTSTAMP:20200120T221034Z URL:https://lvo.org.uk/allfixtures/club-training-night-2/ SUMMARY:Club Training Night - Running Training DESCRIPTION:Running Training returns with Coach Steph.\n\nTime :  assemble from 7:15pm for 7:30pm start.  Back in time for donuts at 8:15pm (priori ties!!)\n\nPlace :  Tim Hortons Cafe\, Connswater Shopping Centre\n\nLook ing forward to a great club training night :) CATEGORIES:LVO Fixtures,Training END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:0-374@lvo.org.uk DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20200126T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20200126T140000 DTSTAMP:20200120T222836Z URL:https://lvo.org.uk/allfixtures/club-score-training-20-3/ SUMMARY:Club Score Training 3 DESCRIPTION:*UPDATED 20th JANUARY*\n\nThis event is being led by Mark Earns haw and (I quote) "There's nothing special about the event I have planned" \n\nLol he's doing himself a dis-service!!!\n\n45 minute score event with variations to keep the fast people amused.\n\n Registration from 13:30\n Mass start at 14:00\n\nParking and registration are at *Belvoir Activity Centre*\, where Mark will be waiting to welcome you all with open arms :)   Everyone is welcome\, including beginners.  Bring a watch to time the 45 minutes\, a full change of clothes for afters\, and remember to pack yo ur sense of adventure.

Great effort from the 'professional' quizzers\, who just missed out on top spot this time.\n🏆1st (47 pts) - some say they have replaced their blo od with compass fluid and when a gypsy read their palms she saw the contou rs of their next race - the runaway winners were the Baxter family!!!!\n\n 👍Thanks again everyone - keep an eye on the LVO website and Facebook pa ges for other social and virtual activities in the coming days and weeks a nd also hopefully for info on a return to orienteering! 🤸‍♀️🤸 ‍♂️\n\n END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:0-412@lvo.org.uk DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE:20200509 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE:20200510 DTSTAMP:20200122T112214Z URL:https://lvo.org.uk/allfixtures/british-middle-champs/ SUMMARY:British Middle Champs DESCRIPTION:https://www.britishorienteering.org.uk/index.php?pg=event&\; evt_level%5B%5D=1&\;bFilter=Filter\n\nhttps://www.britishmiddlechamps.o rg.uk/\n**  Non LVO event – Please check dates and details on the event website above  ** CATEGORIES:Championships,Not LVO,UK Fixtures END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:0-453@lvo.org.uk DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20200510T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20200510T120000 DTSTAMP:20200506T141325Z URL:https://lvo.org.uk/allfixtures/virtual-orienteering-relay/ SUMMARY:Virtual Orienteering Relay DESCRIPTION:Join in this Sunday with the IOC #VirtualOrienteeringRelay\n\nI rish Orienteering Association have organised this as a bit of fun 🙂 bec ause we didn't get a chance to run the Irish Champs relays this year ☹ ️\n\nOn Sunday morning\, you run\, jog or walk a 2k circular route - it is important that you finish where you start.\n\nNo maps or navigating req uired!\n\nSusan Lambe and Olivia Baxter (our managers!) will assign teams (3 of you per team)\, all three times are added up and you'll win.......er m........bragging rights?????\n\nLVO have 27 participants = 9 teams alread y\, but we can get more can't we!\n\n\nLet us know your age class and whet her you're planning to complete your 2k as a\n\nSuperfast Whippet 🐾\nE nthusiastic Sheep 🐑\nOr a Leisurely Hedgehog 🦔\n\nDetails at this link ⬇️⬇️\n\nhttps://www.orienteering.ie/just-for-fun-ioc-virtual -relay\n\nShare with your mates and let's #RunTogetherApart on Sunday  🙂\n\n CATEGORIES:Irish Fixtures,Not LVO END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:0-454@lvo.org.uk DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20200513T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20200516T235900 DTSTAMP:20200512T083650Z URL:https://lvo.org.uk/allfixtures/world-orienteering-day-virtual-o-compet itions/ SUMMARY:World Orienteering Day - Virtual O Competitions!

The forest floor is dry and planning has tried to avoid summer vegetation to keep various route choices fair. There are many paths criss-crossing the map and a few small rivers and drainage channels\, as well as a larger river which can b e crossed by bridges.\n\nPlanner's Notes\nTo succeed at Yellow you should be able to follow line features\, mainly paths\, but also hedges and very obvious vegetation changes (open land and forest). There will be some simp le route choice decisions to be made between controls.\nFor Orange you sho uld be able to make route choices and take a rough compass bearing to cut some corners through forest. There are good catching features for all cont rols and usually an alternative route choice via a line feature. Full leg covering is advised due to brashing and some summer vegetation.\nGreen – very runnable\, there will be plenty of route choice so quick decision ma king will be key to time gained or lost. Full leg covering is advised due to brashing and some summer vegetation.\nDirections and Parking\n\n Car p arking is free. Please use the upper car park where registration will be b ased.

Vegitation variable.\n\nPlanner's Notes\n\nAs you are aware \, Donard Forest lies on the lower slopes of NI’s highest mountain and a s a result the terrain is steep in places. To appease the contour-averse\, all courses are starting higher than they finish. This does not mean they are downhill all the way! The Glen River divides the forest with some rea sonably runnable deciduous areas to the SE of the river. To the NW of the river there is dense vegetation and a significant amount of felling so to access the interesting slopes of Drinahillly there is an unavoidable secti on of path running.\n\nYELLOW COURSE. This is an adventure for our junior orienteers. They will need to duck under and scramble around some fallen t rees\, and they need to keep a close eye on where their line feature is go ing. IT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR BUGGIES and may be very muddy in places. There are a couple of places where tapes will be hung to make the line feature a little clearer. In general\, on a yellow course the participant should b e able to orientate the map\, follow line features and make up to 2 decisi ons between controls. 2.2km\, 80m climb\n\nORANGE COURSE. The orange cours e can be navigated using line features\, but there is also the opportunity to cut some corners and to make route choice decisions. Sometimes cutting a corner will give the quickest route &\; sometimes if the terrain is rough it might be better to go by the path. It is useful to be able to set the map with a compass. 2.6km\, 90m climb\n\nGREEN COURSE. What do I say? Wet\, muddy\, slippery in places\, and unfortunately that choice between path and forest\, contouring or climbing. 4.2km\, 155m climb\n\nI am still trying to confirm access to Greenhill YMCA. If this is not possible cours e lengths and climb may change slightly.\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\nDirectio ns and Parking\n\n Car parking is free at Greenhill YMCA. Access via Shan Slieve Drive\n\n Please time your arrival to limit congregating in the c ar park- i.e. arrive in time for your pre-allocated start time but not exc essively early.\n The Finish will be close to Registration.\n\nSafety Not es\n\nALL competitors MUST download their times at registration even if th ey don't finish the course.  If you fail to download someone will be out looking for you unnecessarily.\n\nThe car park will be busy\, please take care and supervise children. Be aware that forestry vehicles and machinery may also be encountered on roads and in competition area.\n\nThere are mo untain bikers within the competition area. Please be very careful crossing their trails and you should avoid running along them.\n\nTHE GLEN RIVER I S ONLY TO BE CROSSED VIA A BRIDGE and courses have been planned to make th is the best route.\n\nWhistles: recommended.  Cagoules: weather dependant .\n\nNewcomers\n\nYou are welcome to join us even if you are not a member of the club.

Platforms on the edge of the water are not shown and the route from the car park to the new play ground has some fencing added at major junctions which are not shown. They should not impede movement. All the activity during lockdowns has resulte d in a number of new paths in the forest which are not mapped\, so care an d attention is needed when navigating.

Come t o Armagh for a St Patrick’s weekend and feel free to wear any green you ’ve left over.☘\n\n🌳The walled forest has been a great draw in rece nt years with the development of mountain bike trails and iconic adventure playground zones\, so as well as bikers\, be prepared to meet giants\, ca stles and mythical creatures. Expect the place to be busy. The Estate cove rs an area of 240 hectares and its various owners have all had an impact o n the place\, whether it was the Acheson's and Earl's of Gosford who built the Castle\, created the Deer Park\, used the ponds to power a corn mill\ , or planted the Arboretum which contains many record trees\; the US army who are responsible for the firing range and the remains of several gun em placements\; the German POW's who built the small round tower in the main car park\; to the Forestry Service who created several plantations\; and t o the present owners ABC Council who have added the MTB Trails and Play Zo nes. While mostly conifer\, the Forest contains some beautiful huge specim en trees\, and some lovely runnable beech and oak plantations. You may eve n find your path littered with expanses of wild garlic in some places too. \n\n🙏Volunteering: Given its convenient location and being a junior sel ection race\, we expect a healthy number of entries\, so we are looking fo r some volunteers to help with the event. We’ll need a first aider\, a c ouple of teams for both registration/download and at the start. Please thi nk of supporting in this way and let us know in the comment box below or g etting in touch with Kieran Rocks the Organiser\, entries@lvo.org.uk.\n\n 💻Online Entries are open on SIEntries. Entries close: Midnight Thurs 17 /03/2022 (St Patrick's Day)\n\n🗺🧭Mapping and Planner's Comments: Arm agh is drumlin country so don't expect your route to be flat. The forest i s mainly conifer but expect to visit some beautifully runnable beech and o ak plantations\, and many of you will get to enjoy the Arboretum. Sadly\, the forest has suffered from low maintenance over the years and several ar eas are heavily vegetated. Global warming is also playing its part: Whilst the weather hasn't been great of late\, we haven't really had a winter ag ain this year\, so the undergrowth is higher than it would normally be. Th e courses have been planned to avoid most of it\, but bramble bashers woul d be recommended particularly on the longer courses. Gosford contains many ditches - many are small\, but several are deep and steep sided. The rive r is currently easily crossed\, but this may change. Some areas of the map are quite detailed so I have provided enlargements for the shorter course s. The boulders\, pits\, and depressions shown are generally smaller\, sha llower\, than found in other areas\, however\, as long as you are in the r ight place you will spot the control. Power lines have been omitted. The m ain hazard to your run will possibly be the MTB riders. The courses have b een planned to avoid your use of their trails. If you choose to use the tr ails please bear in mind that the bikers have right of way. The MTB trails themselves tend to zig-zag a lot and so don't necessarily offer the quick est route - in many places it will be easier to run through the forest ins tead.\n\n⌚Registration and Starts: from 11am to 1pm. If you have entered online and have your dibber you can go straight to the start at the start window you have been allocated. Otherwise go to registration and ask for a dibber.\n\nRegistration / Enquiries / Download are currently planned to be in our car park.\n\nThe start will be a 5 minute walk from the car park . Call up will be at -3.\n\nFinish is adjacent to the car park.\n\nPlease remember to go to Download whether you have finished your course or not\, as that is our safety check on participants.\n\nCourses will close at 15:0 0.\n\n\n⚪🟡🟠🟢🔵🟤 Courses: There will be the full range of c ourses to suit all ages and abilities\, Newcomers are very welcome.\n\n W hite - 1.9km - 19 controls\, 1:5000 map\n Yellow - 2.4km - 18 controls\, 1:5000 map\n Orange - 3.3km\, 35m climb - 13 controls\, 1:7500 map\n Lig ht Green - 4km\, 65m climb -13 controls\, 1:7500 map\n Short Green - 3.2k m\, 40m climb - 11 controls\, 1:7500 map\n Green - 4.4km\, 75m climb - 17 controls\, 1:7500 map\n Blue - 6.5km\, 100m climb - 21 controls\, 1:1000 0 map with exchange\n Brown - 8.9km\, 135m climb - 27 controls\, 1:10000 map with exchange\n\nCourses are mixed punching and SI Air is enabled on a ll controls except the Start and Finish.\n\n\n\n\n🚗Parking: There will be a £5 charge per car\, payable at the gate hut on entry\, unless you ha ve an ABC Forest pass. So why not car share!?! Covid-19 hasn't gone away\, but if you're fully vaccinated and feel comfortable enough\, it is more e nvironmentally friendly\; it will save you money in fuel\, and is far more sociable. Gosford is a busy place at weekends. We will have our own car p ark next to the Deer Park - please follow the signs and listen to the mars hals. As you've paid your fee why not enjoy the rest of what Gosford has t o offer after your run\, assuming you still have the energy. I recommend a warm down toddle through the Arboretum\, but you could also bring your bi ke.\n\n\n🚽Facilities : Public toilet facilities are available beside th e main carpark where you can find hot drinks and good food while recoverin g from your run. You can find details on the park here\, with some caravan and camping spots available to book for the weekend. \n\n\n🐕‍🦺Dog s are welcome but please keep them on a lead around the main car park\, pl ayground and adventure trail areas.\n\n💚Safety: First Aid will also be situated at registration. Please dress appropriately - full body cover in forests is always recommended due to risk of cuts. A whistle should be wor n by all competitors (the alert is 6 loud blasts per minute\, continue unt il found). If weather is not so nice a waterproof jacket may also be manda tory. Checks will be made at start to ensure you are safe to go out on the course\, so bring all what's required.\n\n\nPlease continue to follow the government and club/event safety guidance around Covid\, to ensure we do our best to keep each other safe and well.\nA number of measures have been put in place to reduce the risk of Covid transmission and ensure your saf ety throughout this activity.

The garde n is a mixture of informal and formal design with terraces\, fountains\, o rnamental gates and flower borders. To walk around the forest park's mile- long lake\, encountering some intriguing modern sculptures on the way\, is to enjoy a great experience of eighteenth-century landscaping.\n\nThe pla nting of the walled Annesley garden\, the focus of the arboretum\, was beg un in the 1850s and rare conifers and maples were later imported directly from Japan. Then came the addition of more rich varieties\, including Chil ean eucryphias\, Australian athrotaxis and pittosporum and Chinese rhodode ndrons. The arboretum holds many trees with record heights in the British Isles.\n\nOne of Northern Ireland's most famous lakes\, a stunning Victori an Castle\, incredible panoramic views\, scenic walking trails\, 27km of M ountain Bike Trails\, Nature Play perfect for the kids\, an onsite multi-a ctivity centre\, hedge maze and equestrian centre\, Castlewellan Forest Pa rk boasts all of this and more making it a must-visit for all ages.\nSunda y 26th June 2022 –  Tollymore Score and Junior Activity\nOn the Sunday morning there will be a 60 minute Score Course set out in Tollymore forest .\n\n25 controls will be set out ranging from 10 points up to 40 points.

There will be a good bit of ro ute choice taking you away from paths and other linear features.\n\nLight Green\, TD4\, is suitable for adults and Juniors who are comfortable takin g and running on a bearing\, so compass skills are expected.\n\nShort Gree n\, Green\, Blue and Brown Courses are of the highest Technical Difficulty \, TD5\, so only suitable for experienced orienteers.\n\n Brown course  8.6 km\n Blue course 6.8 km\n Green course 5.0 km\n Short Green  3.2 k m\n Light Green  3.4 km\n Orange  3.0 km\n Yellow  2.3 km\n White  1.7 km\n\nTerrain notes and safety:\n\nCastlewellan Forest Park is domina ted by the park’s centrally located lake\, the eastern end of which is m ainly typical parkland with scattered mature trees\, the forest carpark an d visitor centre\, and a large campground.\n\nMost of the competition terr ain will be in mixed hardwood/conifer forest that surrounds the lake and t he hill of Slievenaslat. Large areas of the forest have recently been clea red and patches of rhododendron have been removed.\n\nRemaining areas of f orest are of good general run ability although there are many areas of und ergrowth (brambles\, nettles etc) especially along path edges and plantati on margins.\n\nFull leg cover is therefore highly recommended.\n\nCastlewe llan is a busy park which we will share with walkers\, dog walkers\, horse riders\, cyclists and slow moving vehicles. Please give way to other park users. There is an extensive path/track network including many mountain b ike trails - which we expect to be busy. Courses have been planned to avoi d as much as possible the mountain bike trails although it is expected tha t runners will at times cross or use the tracks for short distances - ple ase use extreme caution and be courteous to other forest users avoiding st opping\, slowing or startling the riders. There are also kayakers and stan d up paddle boarders\, if you startle them\, you are well off route - keep away from deep water!\n\nMap: 1:10\,000 with 5m contour intervals for all courses except for Yellow and White which is 1:4000 with 2.5m contour int erval. The map was professionally updated during spring 2022. Descriptions will be in text on the map for Yellow and White.\n\nHow to get there:\n\n Castlewellan Forest Park is located in the town of Castlewellan and the fo rest park is sign posted from the Main Street. From the direction of Cloug h\, turn right at the start of the main street and follow the signs for th e forest. From the direction of Kilcoo\, drive nearly the full length of t he main street and the park entrance is on the left.\n\n\nParking: Car par king and download will be in the main Car Park in Castlewellan Forest Park . There is a cost of £5 per car. Please allow 10 mins to get to the Start from the main carpark.\n\nToilets/facilities: There are toilets situated at the car park and the cafe is open. Adjacent to the car park is the Peac e Maze\, made up of 600 yew trees with a path length of over 3km. So if yo u didn't get lost enough on your run\, why not try this without the aid of a map. I'd advise not doing this before your run in case you can't get ou t in time for your start! The mountain bike trail head and pump track is a lso next to situated beside the car park.\n\n\n\nEntry: To enter this even t and/or book camping and BBQ tickets click the entry button below\n\n CATEGORIES:NI Colour Series,Tollymore Weekend LOCATION:Castlewellan - Forest Park\, Forest Park View\, Castlewellan\, BT3 1 9BU\, GEO:54.259383;-5.951954 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Forest Park View\, Castlewe llan\, BT31 9BU\, ;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Castlewellan - Forest Park:g eo:54.259383,-5.951954 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:0-510@lvo.org.uk DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20220626T103000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20220626T103000 DTSTAMP:20220626T175411Z URL:https://lvo.org.uk/allfixtures/tollymore-festival-of-orienteering-day- 3-fun-score-training/ SUMMARY:Tollymore Day 3 | Fun Score &\; Junior/Novice Training DESCRIPTION:Tollymore Funday Score and Junior/Novice Activities\n\nOn the S unday morning there will be a 60 minute Score Course available in Tollymor e forest.\n\n25 controls will be set out ranging from 10 points up to 40 p oints. The max score available is 550 points and there will be a 10 point deduction for every minute (or part of) you are late beyond the 1 hour lim it. The estimated optimal distance for visiting all controls is 7.7km with 340m climb. 😱\n\nThis course is not suitable for novice orienteers or younger juniors - participants should be of Light Green Standard (TD4) as a minimum and comfortable with navigating using a compass over rough groun d. Check out the Junior/Novice activities below if this is not suited to y ou.\n\nThe course has been designed to use the most runnable and interesti ng terrain. However\, be aware that there has been some recent felling\, s o\, in some patches the ground is more cut up\, slowing running in parts b ut opening up other areas.\n\nBeing June\, the vegetation is at its height . Areas on the map marked as 'undergrowth run' are more like a walk and ar eas marked as 'undergrowth walk' - forget it\, find an alternative route c hoice. You have been warned!\n\nWet river crossings are good route choices \, but only cross where it is safe to do so. Under no circumstances cross where the river is marked with a black border. These 'uncrossable' parts a re dangerous either due to the steepness of the banks or depth/speed of wa ter - they are also off the best lines to take. \n\n \;\n\nJunior/Nov ice Senior Activities\n\nClub coach Steph has designed separate activities more suited for juniors (MW14 and below) and novice seniors. There will a lso be a mini competition for the Junior Juniors\, with rewards for all an d prizes for some!\n\nThere will be three courses on offer – Orange (TD3 )\, Yellow (TD2) and White (TD1) and to be competitive you should enter th e correct course for your age and run independently without being shadowed .  Of course\, non-competitive participants and even adults are also welc ome. The courses will be tailored to help individuals improve their techni cal skills and gain confidence.\n\nCourse details:\n\n⚪ White – 1.8 km             M/W 8A – born in 2014 or after or M/W 10 B – bo rn in 2012 or 2013.\n\nThis is primarily for experienced juniors aged 8 an d under\, or newcomers under 10. All paths and tracks with no route choice and a control at every decision point (junction). This is almost a guided walk and the controls will be placed strategically to help the competitor s choose the correct path to follow.\n\n🟡 Yellow – 2.5 km            M/W 10 A – born 2012 or 2013  or  M/W 12 B – born 2010 or 2 011.\n\nThis is primarily for experienced juniors aged 10 and under\, or n ewcomers under 12. This follows line features but some smaller trails are used and there may be up to two decision points within a leg- ie: a place\ , usually a junction\, where the competitor needs to decide which way to g o. There may be 😊and ☹cards along the route indicating a correct or i ncorrect path!\n\n🟠 Orange – 2.6 km          M/W 12 A – bo rn 2010 or 2011 or M/W 14 B born 2008 or 2009.\n\nThis is primarily for ex perienced juniors aged 12 and under\, or newcomers/novices (including adul ts). Competitors should be able to take short cuts between line features t o the control or to a catching feature such as a path and there are some r oute choice decisions to be made. Obvious contour features such as hill to ps can be used as control sites. There can be several decision points on e ach leg. There is one route choice (which you may or may not take) along a very indistinct path which will be marked out with red and white tape.\n\ n \;\n\nEntry: Entry for all Sunday activities is free. There is no on line entry for Sunday's activities\, just enter on day (EOD). However\, it would be great if you could let Steph know in advance if you are planning on doing her activities\, so we have an idea of the number of maps to pri nt.\n\nRegistration and Parking: This will be at the Mobile Orienteering O ffice (MOO) situated at our 'youth' camp site next to the Toilet block and open from about 1015am.\n\n\n\nStarts: The expected start time for both t he Score and Steph's activities is 11am. It will be a punching start and f inish. The start\, finish and download will be adjacent to the campsite.\n \nSafety: We share the park with many other users such as hikers\, dog wal kers\, horse riders and mountain bikers\, please give way and try to avoid startling them (especially the horses). There will be optional wet river crossings on the score course\, White\, Yellow and Orange course will cros s streams/rivers using bridges.\n\nThere will be an important 5 min safety briefing beforehand. Participants must wear leg covering and carry a whis tle and obviously a watch if you are on the Score course. Courses will clo se after the hour time limit (approximately 12 noon) and controls will be collected in promptly. Upon return everyone must download\, so we know you are all safely back and we don't need to send out a search party.\n\n&nbs p\;\n\n\n CATEGORIES:Tollymore Weekend LOCATION:Tollymore Forest Park\, Main Carpark\, Newcastle\, BT33 0PW\, Nort hern Ireland GEO:54.22063546586094;-5.920328035534681 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Main Carpark\, Newcastle\, BT33 0PW\, Northern Ireland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Tollymore Forest Pa rk:geo:54.22063546586094,-5.920328035534681 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:0-513@lvo.org.uk DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20220717T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20220717T170000 DTSTAMP:20220822T081855Z URL:https://lvo.org.uk/allfixtures/folly-glen-armagh-urban-league/ SUMMARY:NI Urban League - Folly Glen\, Armagh DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n🏡Terrain:\nThis area was last used in 2019 and for a M apRun course\, it is a mix of urban estate streets and wooded river glen.   The area is bounded by busier main roads but the core of the map has re latively quiet routes.\n\n💚Safety:\nTraffic - the Orchard Leisure Centr e (Folly Lane and part of Killuney Drive) tends to have a bit more traffic then the rest of the area\, so caution needed to give way to traffic.\nOt her users - The walking paths in the glen can be narrow and attract dog-wa lkers and the odd biker\, so better to keep your head up.\nNatural hazards - The river is usually crossable at points but that will depend on what t he July monsoons have in store.

Slow or leisurely walkers take up to 14hrs to fin ish the course. If you fall into this category you need to be starting no later than 7am in order to reach the dam by the 2pm cut-off. The Meels Col is also consistently 2/5ths of the circuit and the Binnian-Lamagan saddle 3/4trs  - so you should do the maths for your own particular walking pac e and work out a start time.\n\nRetirees at any stage of the event must re port as soon as possible either to a marshal or via text to base and retur n directly to Donard Park to return their dibbers and register that they a re safely off the mountains.\n\nFinish\nDownload At the finish and hand in your dibber.

Bridges across the main river are not compulsory crossing points unless the weather dictates otherwise. Plea se be sensible with river crossings\, do not cross where the water is deep or has sheer banks - uncrossable parts are shown on the map where the riv er is bordered by a black line. Choose your route carefully!\n\nTollymore is a popular forest park\; as such we will be sharing it with hikers\, dog s\, cyclists and horse riders. Avoid startling them and treat the public w ith courtesy.\n\nWhistles are recommended however they may be mandatory if weather is very poor.\n\nAll competitors MUST visit the download station even if you do not finish your course.

Please note the ea rlier than usual closing date for entries is Sunday 18th September 2022. T hose that remember the 2011 JK will recall fondly the sand dunes\, pits\, gorse\, grass\, fences\, depressions and urban area (yes that’s right) o f the Tyrella beach location. Just as then the planning has been undertake n by Philip Baxter\, so will not fail to entertain. The terrain is as toug h as then\, if not tougher\, with the growth of a lot of gorse and other v egetation so come prepared for a full workout. Courses have been adjusted to reflect this. The event will take place in conjunction with the JIRCs ( see below for more on this) so expect to see lots of juniors out and about .\nCourses\nThe following courses are on offer:\nBeginners courses specifi cally suited to children or families to explore together\n\n\n White – 1.4 km and 10m of climb (TD1)\n Yellow – 1.7 km and 10m of climb (TD2 )\n\nImprovers course\, for children with orienteering experience or begin ner adults who want a bit more adventure off the beaten track.\n\n\n Oran ge – 3.2 km and 55m of climb (TD3)\n\n Technically challenging courses but not too long.\n\n\n Light Green – 3.0 km and 105m of climb (TD4)\ n Short Green – 2.7 km and 85m of climb (TD5)\n\nLonger and more physi cal\, technically difficult courses (TD5)\n\n\n Green – 3.4 km and 100m of climb\n Blue – 5.1 km and 220m of climb\n Brown - 6.2 km and 265m of climb\n\n1:7\,500 and 5m contour interval maps will be in use.\nYellow and Orange courses will have text control descriptions available.\nParking \nParking will be in a car park signposted from the entrance. An entrance fee of £5 applies to all cars payable on registration.\nToilets and facil ities\nPublic toilets are available on the way to the start from the car p ark and are located about 500m from the start.\nDogs\n\nDogs are not permi tted on the site.\nRegistration\nRegistration is online only. Entries clos e at midnight on Sunday 18 September. There is no entry on the day. On reg istering you will be required to provide a Name\, Address and Date of Birt h for every person - including children and non-runners. Vehicle driver’ s name\, registration number\, make\, model and colour will also be requir ed to be provided when registering. You must bring photographic identifica tion for all registered people\, other than those under 16 years of age. N o online registration or no photographic identification means no getting i n and a long drive home. If you have your own SI Card\, then proceed direc tly to start on arrival. Hire cards can be collected at the MOO at the fin ish\, which is close to the car park.\nStart/Finish\nThe start is Starts a re open 12:15 to 14:15. Start times are in 15min blocks with punching star ts with 2 min start intervals. The start is a 1.5 km or 1.2 km (25 - 30 mi ns) sign-posted walk from the car park and range entrance gate respectivel y\, so allow this additional time. Download is at the finish. You MUST dow nload on completion of your run\, even if you do not finish the course.\nS IACs\nSI Air is enabled on all controls and Finish but not the Start.\nMap Collection\nDue to the JIRCs relay event on the Sunday occurring on the s ame area all maps will be collected at the finish and can be claimed at su bsequent events. For the same reason RouteGadget will not be available unt il after the JIRCs relay.\nSafety\nThere are several significant safety po ints to be aware of:\n\n\n Traffic: Please come early to get parked\, adh ere to the speed limit (20 mph / 32 kph) on the approach roads in the area \, there may be runners on the road\, and follow the instructions of the p arking marshals. When you are walking to the start or from the finish and while running be aware there may be traffic on the roads. When walking to the start follow the marked route.\n Terrain: The terrain is tough. It co nsists of forested areas and sand dunes with uneven ground\, thickets\, br ambles/nettles\, some fences\, pits and steep sloped areas (see planner’ s notes below). There are several fences. Full leg cover is mandatory. Wh istles are to be carried and come prepared to take a waterproof jacket too . The safety bearing is due North. This will take you back to the internal access road bounding the area and from there you can locate the car park. \n Stiles: Some (not all) existing stiles at marked coursing points have deteriorated. Repairs have been attempted and the top strand of barbed wir e will be covered but extreme care should be taken in crossing them. Marke d crossing points (stiles or gates) should be used when crossing fences. U nder no circumstances should competitors attempt to climb over fences.\n Range Debris and Equipment: The area also contains range debris\, some of which may be unexploded ordnance\, and range infrastructure. Under no circ umstances touch\, kick or pick up any items lying on the ground. Do not en gage with or play on range infrastructure\, which includes open trenches o n the ranges and target pits / mechanisms both on the ranges and in the co mpetition area. Please ensure children are always supervised closely when not running.\n Sea: The sand dunes lead to a beach and the sea\, although the competition area is bounded by fences to the south\, preventing accid ental access to the sea and the courses do not visit the area of beach. If you decide to visit the beach after your run\, please ensure all children are accompanied throughout.\n Other Users: As well as the JIRCs competit ors it is feasible there may be a few other users\, such as walkers\, runn ers\, dog walkers\, cyclists etc. Please make way for them. Young children must be accompanied throughout.\n Weather: It is not unheard of for ther e to be sun and heat in Sep as well as driving rain and cold so come prepa red for everything. Check the weather and if required bring sun cream and plenty of water or a flask of coffee\, full waterproofs and a woolly hat.\ n Ticks: The area does have livestock\, so ticks are present\, with the r isk of Lyme’s Disease. Please check for ticks on completion of your run. \n Coronavirus Safety Measures: A number of measures have been put in pla ce to provide for Social Distancing and ensure your safety throughout this activity.\n Here is a link to the British Orienteering Participant Code of Conduct which all participants are expected to have read beforehand and adhere to. The main aspects for this event we would like you to pay atten tion to are:\n\n At the Start please maintain social distancing.\n Durin g the event please use the hand sanitisers provided to maintain hygiene\n Do not touch the SI Control boxes except with the SI Card\n During the r ace please be aware of who is around you and try to maintain distance\, es pecially when approaching Controls\n As we are using public parks please be mindful of other park users and give them space\n Please minimise pre and post-activity socialising and maintain your distance\n\n\n IMPORTANT in line with current NI Government advice You MUST NOT attend the activity if You are unwell with a cough\, fever or other Covid symptoms or have te sted positive for Covid-19 within the last 10 days. EXCEPT - You may atten d if you have had no fever and have had negative Lateral Flow Test results for at least two consecutive days after day 5. If you have a condition th at makes you Clinically Vulnerable\, please follow current government and medical advice before registering. If you have been in Close Contact with someone within the last 10 days who has Covid\, please take extra caution around other people at the event.\n\n\n\n \;\nPlanner’s Guide\nTyrel la South presents the opportunity for serious technical challenge to most competitors. Some of the dune areas\, which will be extensively used by al l TD5 and TD4 courses\, can offer fast running although rarely in a straig ht line\, requiring close map contact and the ability to plan ‘on the ho of’. The dark green created by buckthorn and dense gorse has grown in th e years since JK 2011\; the worst of the large sections of fight have been remapped but there are plenty of smaller areas to interfere with straight running. Thus\, looking ahead is vital. While much of the southern half o f the area is relatively flat with good going\, the northern part has area s of well developed heather\, low seasonal bracken and long marram grass w hich can reduce speed to a slow walk in some areas. The contour mapping is detailed but at 5m contour spacing with many form lines to aid interpreta tion. Some of the dunes are tall and steep sided\, often with only a narro w crest line. Areas that appear flat on the map are frequently interrupted by small bumps and depressions\, too small to be mapped in detail but suf ficiently large to create uncertainty. The TD 4 (Light Green) course is pl anned to the guidelines but will present a challenge to any competitor tha t has not yet become comfortable with the skills required: navigate long l egs on a rough compass bearing to a collecting feature\; fine orienteering on short legs using an accurate compass bearing\; navigate for short dist ances using simple contour features – hills\, ridges\, large re-entrants and spurs. In short\, the navigation at every level can be very tricky an d the physical demands of the area should not be underestimated despite co urses being planned to make the best of the terrain.\nJunior Inter Regiona l Championships \nThe Junior Inter Regional Championships (JIRCs) is an an nual competition between the twelve Junior Regional Squads. First organise d by YHOA in 1989 the competition is organised in rotation by the 12 Regio nal Associations. The competition consists of an Individual race on the Sa turday followed by a Relay on the Sunday. An agreed scoring system determi nes the winner on each day and the overall winner. Teams Each region enter s a team made up of up to 4 M/W14’s\, 16’s and 18’s – a total of 2 4 athletes. The relay teams are made up of one M/W16 plus one M/W14 plus o ne M/W18. being 8 teams in all per Region.\nVolunteers\n\n\n Organiser – Alan and Andrew Elwood\n Planner – Philip Baxter\n Controller – Billy and Chloe Reed\n\nWe would love extra help from any willing voluntee rs!

Start will be nearby.\n\nToilets\n\nToi lets are down at the other carpark near the café.\n\nEvent Info\n\nThis i s the second of two training activities\, (i.e. not formal\, so no results published)\, to help prepare us for the LVO Club Score Champs on 12 Febru ary.\n\nScore events do not have a fixed course but a fixed time to collec t as many controls as you possibly can\, choosing your own route within th e time limit.\n\nThere is a 'mass' start - everyone starts at the same tim e and so\, in theory\, should all finish together 45 minutes later - so it is a fun\, social event.  The start will still be a punch start\, and th ere will be a punch finish.\nRegistration at 1.30pm.\nBriefing at 1:50pm.\ nWe will split into groups again so that the experienced orienteers can st art and then pick up the map\, while novices can have a couple of minutes to look and plan and perhaps discuss their route choice first. Score orien teering is where you choose your own route to visit as many controls as yo u can within a 45 minute time limit\, (30 mins for juniors).\nCrawfordsbur n has 4 main areas so check out how you want to approach each of these and where to go first to optimise your points. The area is hilly so again you should consider what will be the fastest and most achievable route for yo u.  Scoring the same as last week ie\n101 – 110 worth 10\n111- 115 wort h 20\n116- 120 worth 30\n121- 123 worth 40\n124- 125 worth 50 points.\nThe re is a 10 point penalty for every minute or part of a minute over time. T he time limit is 45 mins or 30 minutes for younger juniors.\nBe careful\, the Scout Centre to the west of the map is fully fenced with only one acce ss road in and out. There is an error on the map showing an open gate in the NE corner of the fence but this gate will be locked. Also within the S cout area a small path alongside the fence made of a raised board walk is in a dangerous state of disrepair. Do not attempt to use it.\nOther safety points are as usual – the terrain will be muddy and slippery\, there ar e steep slopes and open water in the river. I have marked the main car par k out of bounds and you should not run across it\, but you will have to cr oss the access roads which can have a surprising amount of traffic. Be awa re of and considerate to other park users.\nKit/Equipment\n\nShoes with go od grip are recommended due to the slippery slopes and leaf accumulations. \n\nThis is a non-competitive activity and everyone is welcome to attend. You can go round as an individual or a pair/group.\n\nAll the usual kit\, full body cover\, compass plus a watch to keep an eye on your timing. Ever y minute (or part of a minute) late will have a 10 point deduction.\n\nIf weather is poor a whistle and waterproof coat may be mandatory.\n\nEntries and Cost\n\nIf you intend to go\, please message Ric Gamble chairperson@l vo.org.uk by Thursday 26 Jan\, for the correct number of maps to be printe d.\n\nPayment will be 'on the day' - cost includes map and SI dibber (elec tronic timing) hire.

It will have a similar technical difficulty\, TD3\ , to the shorter Orange course. Runners from a couple of local clubs have been invited. The Red course can be treated competitively but is not part of the NI Colour Series league.\n\n🤍 The White course is for our younge st juniors - short and easy navigation (Technical Difficulty - TD1\, lengt h 2km\, climb 25m). If the kids get on well they can go back to start and ask to do the Yellow.\n\n💛 Yellow is for juniors who can read a map and able to make simple navigations at path junctions - it is a little longer (length 2.7 km\, climb 25m) than the white and slightly more technical -T D2. If the kids get on well they can go back to start and ask to do the Or ange.\n\n🧡 Orange is for improving juniors and novice adults who want a shorter distance. The navigation will be on and off tracks with options o f cutting corners through the forest. Some basic compass skills are advant ageous but not essential. Technical Difficulty - TD3. Straight line distan ce 3.2 km\, Climb 45m.\n\n💚 Light Green is the next step up in distance and navigational skills\, TD4. This course requires the ability to use a compass. It is best suited to intermediate orienteers.

Everyone is welcome to attend including non-memb ers and newcomers. Newcomers please say hello at registration\, there will be someone at hand to talk you though things and give advice.  Please no te that due to the technical difficulty of the area there will be no white course available.\nCourses:\n🤍 Sorry\, there will be no white course a t Meelmore.  Due to the technical nature of the terrain it is not suitabl e for young juniors or complete beginners.\n\n💛 Yellow is for juniors w ho can read a map and are able to make simple navigation decisions along l ine features.  Note that not all legs are along paths\, some legs will re quire competitors to follow streams.   Three legs will be taped to guide competitors between line features.  2.3km and 85m of climb.  Technical difficulty 2.\n\n🧡 Orange is for improving juniors and novice adults wh o want a shorter distance. The navigation will be on and off line features (tracks and streams)\, with options of cutting corners across open terrai n. Some basic compass skills will be advantageous. One leg will taped betw een controls.  Technical Difficulty – TD3. Straight line distance 2.3 k m\, Climb 85m.\n\n❤ The Red course is specifically aimed at runners who have little to no experience of using a map/navigation but happy to go out for a 5+ km on/off trail run (Straight line distance 5.2km\, 230m climb – but remember you won’t always be able/want to go in a straight line) .  It will have a similar technical difficulty\, TD3\, to the shorter Ora nge course.  All legs will be possible following line features together w ith rough compass navigation of no more than 200m between line features.  However\, it will be much quicker to take a more direct route and use tho se compass skills!  One leg will have tapes placed out to mark the route between controls.  Runners from a couple of local clubs have been invited . The Red course can be treated competitively but is not part of the NI Co lour Series league.\n\n💚 Light Green is the next step up in navigationa l skills\, TD4. This course requires the ability to use a compass and navi gate to controls in front of collecting features. It is best suited to int ermediate orienteers. Straight line distance 3.1 km\, Climb 110m.\n\n💚 Short Green (straight line distance 3.3 km Climb 135m)\, along with 💚 G reen (straight line distance 3.7 km Climb 175m)\, 💙 Blue (straight line distance 5.3 km Climb 245m)\, and 🤎 Brown (straight line distance 8.6 km Climb 310m)\, are all of the highest technical difficulty\, TD5. The di fference is the course distance. Participants should choose which course b est suits their level of fitness.\n\nPlease note that the Brown and Blue c ourses in particular have been planned at the upper end of the distance gu idelines - please be prepared for a long and physical adventure!  You wil l be rewarded with some spectacular scenery and challenging orienteering i n rarely visited terrain 😀. Brown and Blue courses will have a map flip . \nClub Championship Courses\nThis event is also doubling up as the Laga n Valley Orienteering Club Championships.

These are to ensure walkers complete the route before dark and that our ma rshals can also safely get off the mountains.

Controls in each section of the course will be taken i n shortly after the cut-off time at the last control. eg: the 3 controls b efore the Lamagan-Binnian Col will be taken around 12:00.\nTime and Distan ce\nIf you look at previous years' results you will note that the Ben Crom dam is consistently half way around the course for most people\, regardle ss of their finish time. Slow or leisurely walkers take up to 14hrs to fin ish the course. If you fall into this category you need to be starting no later than 7am in order to reach the dam by the 2pm cut-off. The Meels Col is also consistently 3/4Qtrs of the circuit - so you should do the maths for your own particular walking pace and work out a start time.\n\nRetiree s at any stage of the event must report as soon as possible either to a ma rshal or via text to base and return directly to Donard Park to return the ir dibbers and register that they are safely off the mountains.\n\nFinish\ nDownload At the finish and hand in your dibber.

Gosford is only Light G reen standard! So Short Green = Light Green. It would be a misnomer to cal l it any different. For improving juniors and newcomers it is important to label courses correctly so that they can understand the fare on offer at each event they go to\, but don't for one second think you'll get an easy run just because I have re-labelled the Course. It will be the same challe nge as ever. For the AT Trophy the scores from Cairn Wood ( which was also only LG ) and Gosford will be combined as usual to crown the victor.\n\nT here are many paths in Gosford from large to small including several windy mountain bike trails which will help with navigation\, but these won't ge nerally provide the best route choice unless you're on the Yellow Course. Gosford has several areas of lovely runnable forest which I will be tempti ng you to enjoy.\n\nThis is a busy forest\, enjoyed by many at weekends\, including families\, dog walkers\, cyclists and horse riders.

Note: membership renewal is due on the 1st January!\n\nIf you are fairly new to orienteering\, don't let the soun d of club championship put you off - there are 3 different courses to choo se from and you are welcome to run round as a pair or family/friendship gr oup (although to be deemed competitive you need to enter as an individual) .\n\n⏰ A score event is different to a normal cross country orienteering event in that\, there are a number of controls which you can visit in any order you wish within a set time. Controls may be worth different values and it is very unlikely that you will be able to visit them all. So\, you will need to plan your best route to get back before the set time. Latenes s back will bring point penalties.\n\n🏃‍♀️ 3 Courses\n\n1️⃣ Y oung Junior Course 1 is suitable for Primary School Children - courses sti ck close to paths\, and the use of a compass is not necessary (technical d ifficulty 2). This is the MW8/10 Championship course and has a time limit of 30 minutes.\n\n2️⃣ Junior/Novice Senior Course 2 is suitable for im proving Juniors and novice adults - the ability to use compass and navigat e away from paths is needed (technical difficulty 3/4). This is the MW12/1 4 Championship Course and also has a time limit of 45 minutes.\n\n3️⃣ Senior Course 3 is suitable for competent orienteers (technical difficulty 4/5). Some controls will be placed far away and in physically and technic ally challenging terrain. This is the Senior Championship course for MW16s and over only. This course has a time limit of 60 minutes.\n\nTime penalt ies - for every minute/part minute you are late you will be deducted 10 po ints on Course 1 and 20 points for courses 2 ad 3.\n\n👟 Clothing\, Safe ty and terrain conditions \n\nThe underfoot conditions on the main forest trails and deep in the forest is generally not too bad. However there are some very wet and muddy places\, especially along the small forest paths which are cut up by mountain bikers\, so wearing you nice white trainers i s not a good idea. The better grip you can have\, the better - to get up a nd over the earth walls\, through small water channels and across steep sl opes. The recent storms have had their effect\, so apologies if some areas of runnable forest (marked white on the map) have areas with fallen trees .\n\n❗ Full body cover and whistle for your safety is mandatory (3 long blasts signals distress\, those coming to your assistance can reply with 1 long blast\, continue 3 blasts every minute until assistance is with you) . As it is winter\, a waterproof jacket may also be a requirement. If this kit is requested and you turn up without it\, sorry you will be turned aw ay for your own safety - please adhere to officials instructions.\n\n❗ ❗ Please remember to return to the registration and download after your run. This is not only to record your score/time but\, more importantly\, t ells us you have safely returned. The first aid station will be based from the car park/registration.\n\n🚗 Parking and toilet facilities\n\nCar P arking will be in Woodburn Presbyterian Church Car Park. There are toilets located in the church hall building. On entry to the car park please park to the left this is because the main church hall is being used for anothe r function and they will need access and have reserved parking on the righ t.\n\n⏰ Registration\, timings and information\n\nRegistration open from 10:45 - 11:30am. This will be based either be out of the small room in th e back of the church hall\, or in the car park\, if the weather is not too bad.\n\nSI dibbers hire is free\, but lost dibbers are charged at the rep lacement cost of £30.\n\nIf you have your own dibber and have registered online there is no need to register on the day\, just make sure you attend the briefing.\n\nThere will be an event briefing for everyone in the car park at 11:30am sharp.\n\nThe start location for Course 1 is approximately a 5-10 min walk from registration/car park. The start location for Course s 2 and 3 is approximately a 10-15 min walk.\n\nCourses 1 and 2 - immediat ely after the briefing\, Course 1&\; 2 participants will walk down with starting officials to the start location. There will be a mass start at 1 145/1150.\n\nCourse 1 - Juniors will remain at registration/car park until 1200\, when the starting officials will return to collect and and walk th em down to their start location. Mass start at 1210.\n\nThis should mean t hat participants on all courses finish at approximately the same time and Juniors do not have to wait too long after they finish their run for paren ts to finish and return.\n\n🏆Prize Giving - Allowing time for people to download\, the aim is to have the prize giving at 1:30pm. There will be p rizes for 1st\, 2nd and 3rd placed men and women on Course 3. On Course 2 prizes will be awarded for 1st\, 2nd and 3rd MW12/14s.

For your delight we will be usin g a newly extended map ( as if you need any more stress ) and as ever\, I' m planning all the fun. I'm laughing already.\n\nAssembly &\; Registrat ion: Moyraverty Centre Car Park.\n///What3words: sunblock.fried.search ( I love all these combinations of words - I don't know how they come up with them but they often seem apt. Hopefully not on this occasion)\n\nToilets: Please note that whilst there are 2 local shops for drinks and snacks\, t here are no toilets at Registration. Please use the ones in the undergroun d car park of Rushmere shopping Centre\, or in Tesco's prior to attendance .\n\nRegistration: From 2:00 p.m.\nStart &\; Finish: Both Start and Fin ish are adjacent to the Car Park so you can cheer people off and they can cheer you home. We have plenty of green space to be sociable in after your run\, or for seeking psychological help.\nStart times: 2:00 - 3:30 p.m.\n Courses Close: 5:00 p.m.\n\nWarm up Area: this will be restricted to the car park itself. Everywhere else is part of the competition area.\n\nCours es:\nShort: 2.7 km\, 19 Controls\,  A4 1:3000 Scale Map - a perfect intro duction to Urban Orienteering for beginners and family groups\nMedium: 5.1 km\, 26 Controls\, A3 1:3000ish\nLong: 7.9 km\, 33 Controls\, 1:4000 Doub le sided A4\n\nThese are optimal distances. i.e. if you manage not to be o utwitted. The actual distance travelled could spiral significantly if I ge t inside your head.\n\nThe Short Course is entirely free of vehicular traf fic. There are no road crossings and consequently I deem it perfectly safe for all teens and above to be able to navigate on their own. For 12's and under I would still recommend that the juniors are either accompanied or shadowed. Whilst there is no traffic\, we are still in an urban environmen t and safeguarding concerns need to be taken into account as well as H &am p\; S.\nPlease note that for any adult wishing to shadow a Junior and then have their own run afterwards\, they will be classed as Non-Comp in the r esults having entered the competition area prior to competing themselves.\ n\nAny under 16's wishing to complete the Medium or Long Courses will need to be accompanied by an over 16 year old.\n\nSI Air: Please note SI Air w ill not be enabled.\n\nTerrain: A mix of typical Housing Executive\, and p rivate housing estates with lots of paths and cycleways\, lots of green sp aces littered with trees\, and with occasional patches of Meadow. Very run nable but you will need to concentrate on the map to select the right rout e choices.

Small areas of windblow that are easily avoided may not be mapped.\n Th e slower tussocky open ground is shown as 403 (rough open) with a screen o f 407 (slow running vegetation). This can be very rough and uneven.  In m any areas the forest 406 (slow running forest) and even 408 (walk forest) may be quicker.\n Some forest ‘clearings’ are filled with impassable windblow – these are mapped using 410 (vegetation fight)\n There are ma ny 1000’s of small ditches and seasonal watercourses in the green forest areas – the majority of these are not mapped. Only the most significant are mapped.  You have been warned!\n Many cliffs and boulders in the fo rest are well encrusted with a deep layer of moss / lichen and may not be immediately identifiable as a rock feature.\n\n\n\n\nPrevious Maps/Routega dget\nThis area was last used for a NICS event on 30 October 2021. Routega dget map and courses can be found here: https://www.lvo.routegadget.co.uk/ rg2/#447\n\n\nCourse Notes\n⚪ White – 1.4km + 80m climb\, 10 controls – navigate along paths with few route choice decisions. Aimed at primary school aged newcomers.\n🟡 Yellow – 1.5km + 90m climb\, 8 controls – along paths with more route choice decisions. Appropriate for newcomer s and younger juniors with some experience.\n🟠 Orange – 1.8km + 120m climb\, 12 controls – skills needed to navigate away from paths and more route choice decisions\, some compass skills are expected. Aimed at novic e adults and improving juniors.\n🟢 Light Green – 3.7km + 60m climb\, 12 controls – this course requires confident map reading and compass ski lls.\n🟢 Short Green – 3.4km + 40m climb\, 14 controls – this course is set at the highest technical difficulty but shorter to attract those w ho may struggle with a longer physical course.\n🟢 Green – 4.4km + 50m climb\, 17 controls – technically and reasonably physically demanding c ourse.\n🔵 Blue – 6.2km + 60m climb\, 20 controls – technically and physically demanding course.\n🟤 Brown – 8.9km + 170m climb\, 30 contr ols – technical and very physically demanding course.NOTE: This event is also doubling up as the LVO Club Champs\, so if you wish to be deemed com petitive within the Championships you must pick the correct colour relatin g to your age/gender.

These are to ensure walkers complet e the route before dark and that our marshals can also safely get off the mountains. Walkers missing a cut-off will be retired from the event and sh ould return directly to Donard Park. N.B. Retirements are marked RTD on th e results with no times and no certificate issued.\n\nN.B. Controls in eac h section of the course will be taken in shortly after the cut-off time at the last control.\nTime and Distance\nIf you look at previous years' resu lts you will note that the Ben Crom dam is consistently half way around th e course for most people\, regardless of their finish time. Slow or leisur ely walkers take up to 14hrs to finish the course. If you fall into this c ategory you need to be starting no later than 7am in order to reach the da m by the 2pm cut-off. The Meels Col is also consistently 2/5ths of the cir cuit and the Binnian-Lamagan saddle 3/4trs  – so you should do the math s for your own particular walking pace and work out a start time.\n\nRetir ees at any stage of the event must report as soon as possible either to a marshal or via text to base and return directly to Donard Park to return t heir dibbers and register that they are safely off the mountains.\n\nFinis h\nDownload At the finish and hand in your dibber.

The area is unusual in that it is bounded by the sea to the north and by the River Bann to the south and west. In recent years large amounts of thorny scrub have been removed by the National Trust.

Some of this area is relatively fast with a simple\, but indistinct\, path network\, bu t the far west section has few paths and the contour detail here is partic ularly complex. There are a number of fences in these areas and gate cross ings must be used.\n\n\nPrevious Maps/Routegadget\nPrevious courses can be found here: https://www.lvo.routegadget.co.uk/rg2/#514\n\n\nNotes/Courses \n👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Groups will be organised into people with the same level of technical ability\, each having a dedicated coach:\nO-Play - for children in P3 and under\, accompanied by their parents.\n⚪🟡 Tec hnical Difficulty (TD) 1 and 2 (White and Yellow) Easy courses with all co ntrols mostly on linear features such as paths\, walls and streams.

But the fo rest also has multiple unmapped single fallen trees which are negotiable.\ n\nThe map has numerous parallel rides in forest blocks which are not mapp ed. Major rides separating blocks of forest are mapped. (At registration w e will have a sample of the map that we are using and a sample map with ri des to illustrate the difference).\n\nSignificant features are mapped in a ny given part of the forest but this does result in some variation across the map.\n\n\nPrevious Maps/Routegadget\nThere are no previous courses / m aps available.\n\nGlenariff was previously mapped in 2004 by Deeside Orien teering and used in 2004 and 2005 but has had a complete new survey done b y Mark Stephens for 2024\n\nControl descriptions will be printed on the ma p.

As a result\, the terrain is quite steep in places. The G len River divides a mixed forest and is bridged by several forest roads. I t includes some reasonably runnable deciduous areas as well as plantation and dense vegetation. A significant amount of recent felling and storm dam age has affected the area\, with the map showing Out Of Bounds areas (OOB) to avoid the worst of these.\n\nDue to storm damage some smaller / indist inct paths are partially obstructed by fallen trees and branches.  All ar e passable\, but some may be a little slower than anticipated and they may be harder to distinguish on the ground.  All the 'main' paths are clear and fully passable.\n\n\n\n\nPrevious Maps/Routegadget\nDonard Forest was last used for an Autumn Trophy event in December 2020. Routegadget map and courses can be found here: https://www.lvo.routegadget.co.uk/rg2/?#428. However there have been recent changes due to felling and storm damage. A copy of the revised map and OOB areas will be available to view at registr ation (YMCA Greenhill).\n\n\nCourse Notes\nThe NI Score Championships will be 60min for Seniors and 45 min for Juniors\, with the following classes: \n\n\n\nM Open\nW Open\nSenior Score\n\n\nM45+\nW45+\nSenior Score\n\n\nM Super Vet 55+\nW Super Vet 55+\nSenior Score\n\n\nM Ultra Vet 65+\nW Ultra Vet 65+\nSenior Score\n\n\nM Junior 18-\nW Junior 18-\nJunior Score\n\n\n M Junior 14-\nW Junior 14-\nJunior Score\n\n\n\n\n Senior course: TD1-5\, 35 controls\, 800 points maximum\, 60 mins\, -20 points per minute or par t thereof for late finishers.\n Junior course: TD1-3\, 25 controls\, 500 points maximum\, 45 mins\, -10 points per minute or part thereof for late finishers.\n Controls will vary in value from 10-50 points each depending on location and technical difficulty.\n Due to recent forestry work and storm damage\, some large areas of the map have been marked out of bounds for safety reasons\, since the map is no longer accurate in these areas. I n other areas\, changes to the maturity of the forest and various new path s / MTB tracks have been updated for the event. Copies of the revised map and OOB areas will be displayed at registration.\n Leaf fall in recent mo nths may make some tracks less distinct so be careful reading the map to d istinguish tracks from indistinct tracks and also walls from ruined walls. \n The Senior course extends to both sides of the Glen River. For the saf ety of all competitors\, the river is out of bounds and must not be crosse d other than at marked bridge crossing points.\n Planners tip: the area i s very steep - consider elevation changes carefully when making route choi ces!\n Because there are no road crossings involved this year\, juniors a re allowed to run the senior course under the W/M open category. They need to let Registration know on the day\, as SIEntries cannot record this int ention. If a junior runs up on the senior course\, they are not eligible f or any of the junior score titles.\n\n\n\n\nFirst Aid and Safety\nThere wi ll be a first aid and a qualified first aider available at registration. R egistration is also a safe place for lost children to wait.\n\nBe aware of other forest users – particularly walkers and mountain bikers - as this is quite a busy public amenity\, especially at weekends.\n\nPlease do not come to the event if you are unwell.\n\nPlease bring and carry any medica tion you might need\, especially inhalers and EpiPen’s.\n\nIf you come a cross an injured or ill person\, please stop\, help and get further help. There will likely be qualified first aiders on the course who can stop to provide support.\n\nAll participants must return to download\, whether the y complete the course or not. This is to account for all competitors\, ens uring everyone’s safe return.\n\nCourses will close and controls collect ed in at 3pm sharp. If you are still out on the course at this time return to finish and download immediately.\n\n\nKit requirements\nFull body cove r is mandatory.\n\nA whistle (emergency alert is 6 loud blasts per minute) is mandatory.\n\nA waterproof jacket may also be mandatory if the organis ers decide the weather requires one\, so bring one along just in case.\n\n \nParking\n\nParking (available for free) is in the Donard Forest public c ar park.

As a result\, the terrain is quite steep in places. The Glen River divides a mixed forest an d is bridged by several forest roads. It includes some reasonably runnable deciduous areas as well as plantation and dense vegetation. A significant amount of recent felling and storm damage has affected the area\, with th e map showing Out Of Bounds areas (OOB) to avoid the worst of these.\n\nDu e to storm damage some smaller / indistinct paths are partially obstructed by fallen trees and branches.  All are passable\, but some may be a litt le slower than anticipated and they may be harder to distinguish on the gr ound.  All the ‘main’ paths are clear and fully passable.\n\n\nYou ma y encounter some sites that have been used for wild camping or partying. P lease look out for litter\, especially broken glass.\n\n\nPrevious Maps/Ro utegadget\nDonard map was used at the NI Score Championships in February 2 025.

There are several fences . The safety bearing is due North. This will take you back to the internal access road bounding the area and from there you can locate the car park. Extreme care should be taken in when crossing stiles.\n\nThe area also co ntains range debris\, some of which may be unexploded ordnance\, and range infrastructure. Under no circumstances touch\, kick or pick up any items lying on the ground. Do not engage with or play on range infrastructure\, which includes open trenches on the ranges and target pits / mechanisms bo th on the ranges and in the competition area. Please ensure children are a lways supervised closely when not running.\n\nThe area has livestock\, so ticks are present\, with the risk of Lyme’s Disease. Please check for ti cks on completion of your run.\n\nThe sand dunes lead to a beach and the s ea. The coaching area is bounded by fences to the south\, preventing accid ental access.\n\n\nPrevious Maps/Routegadget\nTyrella was last used for th e NICS and JIRCS in 2022.

Where possible these have been marked out-of-bounds\, o r marked on the map with an X. There may be others\, so please be careful. A recent and new small network of paths near the walled garden has been r ecently added.\n\nThere are also many areas of undergrowth (brambles\, net tles etc) especially along path edges and plantation margins.\n\nThe area is popular amongst mountain bikers\, and despite the darkness\, some biker s may be out on the trails at this time of the event. There are many MB tr ails in the area north of the lake marked on the map\, some of which look obvious route choices. We have put advance public event notices in the par k to advise mountain bikers of our event in the hope this will act as a de terrent to bikers on the night.\n\nCourses are also planned to avoid comin g into close contact with the main lake which dominates the ground of the forest. Keep away from deep water!\n\n\nPrevious Maps/Routegadget\nCastlew ellan map was last used at the NICS on 25 June 2022.

Competitors can choose to run up a class\, e.g. an M50 may want to run the Long course but must then compe te as M Open. Conversely\, if you want to run a shorter course then select the closest age class for that course  - but note that you will be deeme d non-competitive for the class.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse\nClasses\n\n\nL ong (approx 4.9k\, 100m climb)\nM/W Open\n\n\nMedium (approx 3.2k. 60m cli mb)\nM/W Vet 45+\,  M Super Vet 55+\n\n\nShort (approx 2.0k\, 25m climb)\ nW Super vet 55+\, M/W Ultra vet 65+\, M/W16\n\n\n\nNote that If a M/W14 w ishes to run the NI Night Champs\, they can only do so by being shadowed by an adult\, and by being therefore non-competitive. LVO has a duty to ju niors and so no M/W14 can run unaccompanied i.e. run competitively at th e NI Night Champs. The adult must be an experienced orienteer holding curr ent club membership who is capable of shadowing the junior for the entire length of the course.\n\n\n\n\n\nFirst Aid and Safety\nThere will be first aid and a qualified first aider available at registration.

This is to account for all competitors\, ensuring everyone’s sa fe return.Courses will close and controls collected in at 8.30pm sharp. If you are still out on the course at this time return to finish and downloa d immediately to prevent the event safety team searching for you.\n\n\nKit requirements\nFull body cover is mandatory.\nA whistle (emergency alert i s 6 loud blasts per minute) is mandatory.\nA waterproof jacket may also be mandatory if the organisers decide the weather requires one\, so bring on e along just in case.\nA fully operational and charged head torch is manda tory.\nCarrying a mobile phone is advised.

These are to ensure walkers complete the route before dark an d that our marshals can also safely get off the mountains. Walkers missing a cut-off will be retired from the event and should return directly to th e event centre in Donard Park. N.B. Retirements are marked RTD on the resu lts with no times and no certificate issued.\n\nN.B. Controls in each sect ion of the course will be taken in shortly after the cut-off time for the section.\nTime and Distance\nIf you look at previous years' results you wi ll note that the Ben Crom dam is consistently half way around the course f or most people\, regardless of their finish time. Slow or leisurely walker s take up to 14hrs to finish the course. If you fall into this category yo u need to be starting no later than 7am in order to reach the dam by the 2 pm cut-off. The Meels Col is also consistently 2/5ths (40%) of the circuit and the Lam-Bin Col is 2/3rds (66%) of it – so you should do the maths for your own particular walking pace and work out a start time.\n\nRetiree s at any stage of the event must report as soon as possible either to a ma rshal or via text to base and return directly to the event centre to retur n their dibbers and register that they are safely off the mountains.\n\nFi nish\nDownload At the finish and hand in your dibber.

The area has an extensive path network due to bike trial s being held here. Speed will not be your friend! This area was previously a dumping site so be aware of any pieces of metal / scrap material in the forested area.  Further to the north is the Clandeboye Estate which is m ostly forested with varying levels of runnability.\n\nThe area was newly m apped in March 2023.  Please note that large areas of ferns have been mar ked as “open area with scattered trees”.  Crags are not large feature s but have been mapped and are consistent throughout the area.  It is ver y muddy underfoot and\, even if there is a dry spell before the event\, we ar appropriate footwear for slippery conditions.\n\n\nPrevious Maps/Routeg adget\nThis area was used for NI Colour Series event in November 2023.
