An overflow car park is located further along on Brook Road around the corner from the main carpark. Download, Entry on the Day, dibber hire, key drop, and toilets are all located in the school Canteen adjacent to the car park. Please remove any dirty O-shoes under a covered terrace before entering the building after your run. No spiked shoes are allowed to be worn inside the school premises. There will be unmanned baggage dump at the Canteen. The start is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, approx. 50m from the Canteen and the car park. There will be no marshalled road crossing to the start, take care when crossing the road. All juniors must be accompanied to the start and from the finish by a parent or other responsible adult. The start and finish are within 125m from each other. |
| Dog rules: | This area is popular with dog walkers, and most orienteers will most probably encounter dogs at least once, some of whom will be off the lead; please show the necessary due care and attention around dogs and their owners to avoid any potential issues. Competitors may compete with dogs on lead. Please remember to collect and dispose of any poo responsibly. At the moment we do not know if dogs are allowed on to the school premises so we would recommend that, if possible, they are not brought along but if they are, to ensure they are kept under close control at all times |
Details

Free coaching As part of the event, BOK is running a 1hr coaching session from 10-11am for anyone who would like to practise or improve their skills before having a go at one of the courses. The session will be most relevant for intermediate adults currently running at Orange/Light Green level who are looking to progress onto Green or Blue courses, but more experienced orienteers should still find it helpful. Unfortunately, this session is not open to juniors but the club hopes to run some specific junior sessions in future. There is an option to sign up for the coaching session via Pre-entries. Alternatively, if you just want to come along to the coaching session without running a course afterwards, email htwalsh17@gmail.com to sign up. Places limited to 8 - first come, first served. Please meet at assembly at 9.50am. This session is free and is open to BOK members and non-members alike. We have compasses available to borrow if you don't have your own. |
