SUMMARY:NI Long Distance Champs 2023 - Slieve Croob
DESCRIPTION:LVO welcomes you to the slopes of Slieve Croob for the 2023 NI 
 Long Distance Champs - postponed from last autumn. On a fine day there are
  unrivalled views of the Mourne Mountains\, but lack of access means you w
 ill meet no-one but other orienteers! Apparently\, people gather on the fi
 rst Sunday in August to carry stones up the mountain to bury the 12 kings 
 whose grave is at the top – but I suggest you travel light for the event
 !\n\nThis event is open to all orienteers but to be eligible to be NI cham
 p you must be a current member of a NIOA club and since this is the postpo
 ned 2023 champs you must enter the class you ran in 2023 (or run up). Howe
 ver\, since the race is also one of the selection races for Juniors wantin
 g to be considered for the JHI they should run their current age class –
  which will still be competitive for NI Champ.\n\n\n\n\nCourse\nClass\nLen

 ame.\n\nThe course lengths have been deliberately kept short because of th
 e significant unavoidable climb on all courses. The planner has experience
 d snow\, frost\, fog\, cold and wind….but refuses to go out in the rain.
  Please be prepared for whatever the weather decides. Whistles and waterpr
 oof coats will be compulsory as this is a mountain environment and you wil
 l not be allowed to start without the correct gear.\n\n\nWe are grateful t
 o the many landowners who were willing to allow us access to their land.\n
 \nThere is a brand-new fence running north-south up the hill and understan
 dably the farmer does not want us to cross it - so don’t.\nIt is marked 
 with a solid red line on the map.\n\n\nIn the interests of maintaining exc
 ellent relationships with our land owners and farmers please report any da
 mage to low walls and/or fences at download.\n\nBe careful to differentiat
 e the different levels of bogginess as mapped – or you may find yourself
  unexpectedly swimming.\n\n\nStart times - will be allocated between 11:00
  and 13:00. There is a 15-minute walk to the start so please leave time to
  get there for your exact start time. The finish is adjacent to the start 
 and spare clothing can be left there.\n\nLocation - is at the ‘Equestria
 n Centre’ on the Slievenisky Road and will be signed from the Clonvaragh
 an Road.\n\nParking - Space is very tight so please  car share where poss
 ible and follow the marshals’ instructions.\n\nToilets - There will be a
  portaloo provided. The closest public toilets are in Ballynahinch\, Castl
 ewellan or the Outlet at Banbridge.\n\nEntries close - Sunday 25th Februar
