The event will be available in the app from Friday 20 May 2022. For your run to count in the League, you must submit your results by the end of Thursday 2 June 2022.

Map: The map is a 1:7500 OpenOrienteeringMap. There are both ‘stick’ and ‘pseudo’ maps available and the PDFs can be downloaded below. It may be beneficial to take both maps. 

Terrain: The course is around the residential areas and primarily on paths. There are some open and wooded areas. Some areas of vegetation have grown since the mapping and there are a couple of unmarked fences.

Safety: There are lots of road crossings. Under 16's should be accompanied by an adult. All fences are not to be climbed whether marked on the map or not – this also includes squeezing through holes in fences!

Social: Wednesday 1st June 2022 at The Dog and Crook, SO51 0QB from 7.30 pm.
