Note: membership renewal is due on the 1st J anuary!\n\nIf you are fairly new to orienteering\, don’t let the sound o f club championship put you off – there are 3 different courses to choos e from and you are welcome to run round as a pair or family/friendship gro up (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 a nd it is very unlikely that you will be able to visit them all. So\, you w ill need to plan your best route to get back before the set time. Lateness back will bring point penalties.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOnline Entry\n.\n\n\nSI Ent ries\n \n\n\nOnline Entry closes\nMidnight\, Sunday 17 January 2027\n\n\nR egistration\, Start and Finish\nTBC\n\nRegistration open from 10:45 – 11 :30am.

Expect th e place to be busy. The Estate covers an area of 240 hectares and its vari ous owners have all had an impact on the place\, whether it was the Acheso n’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 co ntains many record trees\; the US army who are responsible for the firing range and the remains of several gun emplacements\; the German POW’s who built the small round tower in the main car park\; to the Forestry Servic e who created several plantations\; and to the present owners ABC Council who have added the MTB Trails and Play Zones. While mostly conifer\, the F orest contains some beautiful huge specimen trees\, and some lovely runnab le beech and oak plantations. You may even find your path littered with ex panses of wild garlic in some places too.\n\n\nPrevious Maps/Routegadget\n This area was last used for a LVO Autumn Trophy event in October 2023.
