Course Information

How to ‘grab a map and find your way’? - This activity is free of charge. Just turn up at the registration point between 1pm & 3pm. The activity can be done in pairs, small groups or individually.

5 courses available. The easiest courses will be around 1km, the hardest 2.5km. At least 1 course will be pushchair/wheel chair accessible along paved paths but note the area is on a slope.

• When you arrive we ask you to register your details for safety.
• We will help you chose which course to start with.
• You will receive a map with a course and checkpoints marked on it plus an electronic timing chip that we call a ‘dibber’.
• We will explain how to set your map so that you can work out the direction to go to the first and following checkpoints.
• You will clear your dibber then follow your chosen course from the start via each checkpoint to the finish. Use your dibber at each checkpoint to record your time.
• You must return to registration to record your finish time, return your dibber and for safety so we know you have returned even if you don’t finish your course.
• You can do more courses if you like, time permitting.

We will close the courses at 4pm.
