A quick reminder for newcomers: If you’re not currently a member of British Orienteering, you won’t be covered by the organisation’s public liability insurance for this event. You’re very welcome to take part, but please be aware that you do so at your own risk.
Entries:
Pre-entries are preferred. There will be limited entry on the day, so long as we have maps. On-line entries are open up to 9pm on the day before the event. Please enter on-line if you can. This makes things easier for us and secures your place in the event. If you have any problems using the entry system please contact [email protected] for assistance. Entry fees are £8 for non-member adults, £7 for member adults and £4 for juniors (under 21) and students. Please note, these fees are the same for individuals, pairs or small groups. e.g. two adults running together would pay just £8 (or £7 if members), not £16. There is space on the entry page to add details of any other persons sharing your entry.
Entries are free for SROC junior members. Contact [email protected] for the discount code.
If you are a newcomer to the sport and do not have an orienteering dibber (to record visiting the controls, also called an SI-Card) then please indicate that you need to borrow an SI-Card.
Courses:
Easy (Yellow) 2.0 km - suitable for Juniors with some map reading experience and family groups with no experience.
Hard (Green) 4.3 km – experienced orienteers only.
Score - suitable for beginners and experienced orienteers. Navigate around your choice of controls to maximise your score. Each control visited is worth 10 points, there is a time limit of 60 minutes with a points penalty of 5 per minute (or part minute) late. Make sure you have a watch!
Controls are in beacon mode so they can be punched contactlessly if you have a SIAC. This does not apply to the dibbers available for hire.
Terrain:
Map A4 on waterproof paper, scale 1:4000.
Complex university campus with urban-type terrain surrounded by playing fields and woodland. Mostly very runnable. No metal spiked shoes please, trail shoes or trainers will be fine.
There is a lot of building work going on this summer with multiple areas fenced off. The larger areas are shown on the map with purple hatching. Not all the smaller areas are shown, you can in general go around these if necessary. Courses are planned to avoid interference from the works though you will pass near to some.
Start:
Starts between 12.30 and 13.30. Courses close at 15.00 and controls will be removed after that time.
The Start and Finish are close together They will be signed from Registration.
