Oliver's Battery Easter Egg Hunt

By Helen Wheelwright , 19 March, 2023

One of our new members, Colin Stride, is planning the Oliver's Battery MapRun Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday 9th April, 12.30-17.00.

This event is being organised by Oliver's Battery Events team with technical help from SOC. See the Oliver's Battery website for more information and enter by 3rd April at the latest.

The longest route is about 9.5k so there is plenty to keep you busy even for the keenest orienteers.

Colin would be very grateful if a SOC volunteer could attend to give help on how to download and use maprun6. If anyone is able to help on the day, please oliversbatteryevents [at] gmail.com (email) him.

Many thanks to Colin for planning this event.
