Orienteering during a partial solar eclipse will a unique experience for many of us this Wednesday evening!
At the maximum, approximately 93% of the sun will be covered, and for most of the evening the light will be greatly effected, making reading the map and terrain more challenging.
- Start of partial eclipse: ~6:10 p.m. BST
- Maximum eclipse: ~7:07–7:08 p.m. BST
- End of partial eclipse: ~8:03 p.m. BST
