Note: membership renewal is due on the 1st January!\n \nIf you are fairly new to orienteering\, don’t let the sound of club ch ampionship put you off – there are two different courses to choose from and you are welcome to run round as a pair or family/friendship group (alt hough to be deemed competitive you need to enter as an individual).\n\n⏰ A score event is different to a normal linear orienteering event in that there are a number of controls which you can visit in any order you wish w ithin a set time. Controls may be worth different values and it is very un likely that you will be able to visit them all. So\, you will need to plan your best route to get back before the time limit. Lateness back will bri ng point penalties.\n\nIMPORTANT - This event will have a map flip with al l the 10pt controls on side A and the 20pt - 40pt controls on side B. You must complete all the controls you wish to visit on side A before moving t o side B. There is a MANDATORY control in the middle which you must visit once before flipping to the high point controls. All the other controls ar e optional as per a normal Score course. Beginners and younger juniors may wish to stick to the easier controls on side A while experienced orientee rs need to decide how much time to spend collecting 10 pointers on side A before flipping to the high points.\n\n\nOnline Entry\n.\n\n\nSI Entries\n \n\n\nOnline Entry closes\nMidnight\, Monday 17 March 2025\n\n\nRegistrat ion\, Start and Finish\nRegistration open from 10:45am – 11:30am.

Large and medium paths will help juniors\, an d all routes lead back to the central main path to the car park. Don’t e xpect those smaller paths to be necessarily that distinct\, but there are some lovely free running areas\, criss-crossed with ditches and streams.\n \nA general hillside slopes up towards a quarry running along the south we st. Much of wood to the south west has also been cut to leave open areas o f high vegetation. It is heavily used by dog walkers\, so please be carefu l at the start and finish.\n\n\nPrevious Maps/Routegadget\nThis area was l ast used for a LVO Autumn Trophy event in September 2023.
