Organiser: Richard Gamble Planner: Lyle Flemming Whether you are an experienced orienteer or a novice, young or not so young, Lyle will have designed a course for you on this new map – thanks Bill! If you are interested in trying orienteering out for the first time, an urban course is less daunting and there will be someone available to literally help point you in the right direction! On the flip side, this new course will be good practice for those planning on entering the sprint at the IOC in Sligo, in a few weeks time.
