Explanation of Event levels

Local events are usually low key and in the 'localised' area, ideal for newcomers to try the sport. Training are non competitive events used for training and coaching, aimed at members of the club, but they can attract people from neighbouring clubs, and are often ideal for newcomers to try the sport. Regional events attract participants from around the local Region, National events are high quality competitions that will attract people from far away, Major events are Major Events such as a British Championships.

Course Information

We will be providing 3 activities:

  1. Two courses for newcomers to try orienteering and there will be volunteers to help learn how to use an orienteering map to navigate around a course.
  2. For improvers, we continue the theme of contours and how best to interpret them to the best advantage 
  3. In addition, there will be a simple score course aimed at the more experienced and those who are looking to stretch their legs.
