Course Information
Sprint (optimum route c4km) and a short course (optimum route c2km) - both in a Norwegian Score format (you must visit all controls but you can take them in any order).
Neither course crosses the A65, and the short course only uses quiet residential roads, but British Orienteering rules mean that under 16s on both courses must be accompanied by an adult.
It's not a mass start. If you think you'll take a while, then please start early so the AGM can start on time.
Terrain Description
Urban with some parkland.
Dog restrictions
On a tight lead please.
