Four courses (White, Yellow, Orange and Technical) available, suitable for beginners up to the more experienced orienteer. The shorter courses will be within the playing fields. The longer courses will extend to an adjacent area with a good mix of woodland and open spaces. The technical course will include an urban section. Pay one fee (£3 adults / £1.50 juniors), attempt as many courses as time allows. Starts from 10:30 to 12 noon. Registration indoors at the KGV Sports Centre, Northgate, Cottingham.
Many thanks to the HALO helpers who made today's event possible. Putting out controls - Stuart and Ken Setting up - Brian, Ken, Mary and John Helping newcomers - Mary and Brian Manning registration and map printing - Brian Collecting controls - Stuart, Mary, John, Ken and Paul. The playing fields and adjacent woodland is a small area but it still managed to provide a number of challenges for even experienced orienteers, lulled perhaps into thinking it would be easy. Even a bench caught a few out. A perfect area for this type of event. It was good to see a few newcomers taking part, hopefully they will be able to attend future events.
