LOC N Terrain 4 - Tarn Hows/Guards Wood

Welcome to this year's Night Terrain series of 5 events. Each event will have a Long course, a Short course and an easier yellow course for newcomers and Juniors. 

A whistle and headtorch are mandatory for these events and waterproofs maybe, depending on conditions on the night, please ensure you have them with you just in case.

Tarn Hows has a real mix of open fell, pasture and deciduous coniferous forest. The area is covered in typical Lakeland features - knolls, contour features, crags & streams.

Unsure which course to enter? The longer courses (Long and Short) will be technical courses designed for more experienced orienteers. The Yellow course is the easiest at this event, suitable for beginners and older children.  

We encourage running in pairs or groups – it is a good way to start orienteering. To do this, enter the event using one person’s name, and please add the names of everyone accompanying in the ‘Additional names and ages’ box. You can also request extra maps, if required.

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.

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.
