Hursley Park

Hursley Park is the ninth and final event in this year’s SOC Summer Series. Hursley Park is a small area of parkland and more intricate campus like buildings.

We have courses for beginners and families and will have our friendly club coaches on hand to offer help. For children who are new to orienteering we have free whistles and a skills passport. After taking part in three races they earn their very own certificate - ideal for show and tell at school!

There is a Light Green course for experienced orienteers - this course is part of the Summer Series league and provides a great chance to compete and train at the same time. The league so far has had 110 different runners with 2 runners having competed in 7 out of the 8 events (one of them is the planner for the Hursley Park event). Mike Frizzell from BADO is uncatchable at the top of the handicapped League with 240 points (gaining a maximum of 60 points at 4 events). Second place is wide open with at least 3 runners in contention.

Provisional course details:

Yellow – 1.7km, suitable for beginners.

Orange – 2.1km, medium difficulty, suitable for beginner adults and improving youngsters.

Light Green – 4.3km, moderate difficulty, suitable for regular orienteers and those wanting more of a challenge.

Parking

Free parking is available next to the start/finish. Parking will be signposted from the traffic lights with Hursley Primary school on the south side of Hursley. Take the Hursley Park Road and then the 2nd right turning, before bearing left twice. The start/finish and registration tent will be on the edge of the field with the baseball pitch. Hursley Park Road will be closed for the event so do not use the entrance the north/Winchester side of Hursley. Nearest postcode is IBM Hursley: SO21 2JN. Grid reference:  SU424 250

 

We looked forward to seeing you at the final event in the Summer Series.

Test Way Relay

By Webmaster , 12 July, 2014

This year's Test Way Relay will be taking place on Saturday 13 September. This eight leg relay follows the length of the Test from Inkpen Hill down to Totton. The changeover at the end of the second leg will move this year so, in addition to the usual 5-6 mile legs, there will be one longer leg and one shorter leg. If we can get four women then we can enter a competitive mixed team. If you're interested in running then please let Christine Currie (christine [at] curries.org.uk (christine[at]curries[dot]org[dot]uk)) know by 20 July.
