IntrO at Carnfunnock

Posted onAuthorAlan GartsideLeave a comment

Autumn Trophy 2 – Sunday 18th October – Carnfunnock Country Park

Course details: Green course. 4.9km with 150m climb and 17 controls Orange course. 3.4km with 80m climb and 12 controls Yellow course. 1.8km with 60m climb and 9 controls As regards parking, there is a charge but a reduced one for orienteers. The car parking is right beside the start and finish. Let the man on the gate know that you are orienteering and collect a token from him. Before you leave, take this to the shop, on site, to pay. I think £3/car instead of £4.50. Entry fees are £6 for Seniors and £3 for Juniors, Students and unwaged. Read More …
