Welcome to the Cumbrian Galoppen event at Pike O Blisco.
The yellow and orange courses use the National Trust Great Langdale Campsite, which is around 500m along a minor road from the assembly area/parking with no climb. Start times for Yellow/Orange courses between 11am and 12:30.
For Light Green and above, the area is open fell with a wealth of contour and rock detail. It will be challenging in good weather and extremely difficult if the cloud is down. Looking at your compass will be essential.
The start is around 2km and 400m climb above the assembly area/parking. You will need to allow plenty of time for the walk to the start. The finish is about 250m lower than the start.
Although we have planned a Very Short Green course, you need to consider both the climb to the start and the descending during the final part to reach the finish. If you have knee trouble then this might not be the event for you!
We have also planned a Light Green course on Pike O’Blisco. This will be challenging and competitors need to be able to recognise feature like linear marshes and ditches, as well as strong contour features – long spurs and re-entrants.
Given the exposed nature of the terrain, it may well be that cagoules will be compulsory, whatever the weather. In the unfortunate event of turning an ankle a long way from home, you need to keep warm.
The usual range of Galoppen courses will be available from Yellow to Brown. More details are available on the LOC website at https://www.lakeland-orienteering.org.uk/events.
Everyone who attends must follow the ‘Participation Codes of Conduct’ which can be found at the British Orienteering website.
