In addition to the championship courses (by age class) the following non-championship courses will be offered: White, Yellow and Orange. These are primarily aimed at people new to orienteering or those not yet confident enough to tackle a full championship course. You can choose any course you like irrespective of age and gender.
These courses will be the only ones available for entry on the day and no start times will be allocated - just turn up and go.
Parking will be adjacent to assembly / finish (there may be special arrangements for larger vehicles e.g. campervans - further details will be provided nearer the time).
Start times will be from 10am to 1pm. A start block preference can be specified when entering. Seeding will be done according to British Orienteering guidelines for the event.
Dogs are permitted.
