See the details below if you would like to join in. Please note the request to contact the organiser if you plan to go to ensure enough maps are printed and the recommendation to take photo ID.

Registration Times: 6:00pm - 7:15pm in the Gymnasium

High viz tops are highly recommended, as are spare torches.

Comments: The majority of the course is contained within the barracks with 1/3 of the course within the local village; this would ideally suit newcomers to orienteering as majority is contained within the Barracks itself but offers the more experienced orienteer the option to collect all marks within the village. The Barracks in places is wet. Please contact the organiser stuart.southwick809 [at] mod.uk (stuart[dot]southwick809[at]mod[dot]uk) to reserve a map. Emit Touch-Free Training controls will be used.
