Cranleigh Urban
Type of course: Virtual Terrain type: Urban
Overview
Our Cranleigh urban course covers a good proportion of what is said to be the largest village in England. The Crane on the Fountain Memorial is a reminder of when the area was noted for craneries (cranes being a great delicacy) - hence the name Craneley or Cranleigh as it later became.

General Info
This is a 60 minute score course with 40 controls and a penalty of 10 points for each (part) minute over. Cranleigh is flat, so you don't need to worry about the contours on the map! It's at 1:10000 scale in Street-O style, with different colours to the traditional orienteering maps - the key difference is that white means no access unless clear on the ground.
The "Map" link below gives you an A4 (Landscape) pdf, Control Descriptions and Safety Notes are included as the 2nd page of the map.
The Start and Finish is just outside the Leisure Centre Entrance.
When you pass the Finish control, then it will stop the timer, once you have started and found at least other control.
