Event Description
We are back again for the third and final outing in Lisburn for a Wednesday Evening Night Training (WENT) activity – the final MapRun Score event of the Series. There will be no overlap of terrain from the first two outings, although a slight overlap from the recent urban league race.
Entry:A good quantity of maps are printed.If you give notice to Stephen Gilmore you have priority for a printed map, by a message on LVO Facebook page or email, secretary@niorienteering.org.uk. If we run out of paper maps, the map on the phone is also available.
Cost: Free for club members. £3 for non-members (exact change please!)
Meet: 7.15pm at Ground Coffee (TK Maxx) carpark, Lagan Bank Road, Lisburn, BT27 4TQ for a 7.30pm sharp start.There will be a short walk to the start, so please assemble by 7.15pm.
Ground Coffee stays open until 9pm, with last orders at 8.45pm.
Bring: Phone with MapRun6 app installed with phone carrier or zip pocket (or Garmin watch with MapRunG). Make sure they are fully charged. The phone can be put into airplane mode once the course is downloaded. The course “Lisburn WENT SouthWest…” is available in the app in the folder UK>Northern Ireland>Co Antrim, but will be PIN proteted until 8.00pm. The PIN will be announced at the start. There are some useful videos on Facebook explaining how to use MapRun6 and MapRunG. Aslo remember a Head torch, Bright/reflective clothing appropriate for weather – warm and waterproof if necessary, a whistle, a compass and a watch and some change or a card for a tea, coffee or hot chocolate in Ground afterwards.
Safety: For safety and insurance reasons, Juniors under 16 are not allowed to participate in MapRun Urban courses unless accompanied by an adult. Singnalled crossings on busy roads are marked with a purple crossing point symbol and should be used. Terrain will be 90+% paved, so training shoes with a good grip are recommended.
Next Week: The final remaining WENT in the Series is:
14 Dec Lady Dixon Training. Expect some incompetent elves to mess something up! It happens every year, but they get something different wrong every time. Rather like orienterring perhaps?
