Pre Event Info

We are using this event as a practice event for the organiser and helpers for the Scottish Championships in June.  We have allocated start times to competitors who have pre entered. See the start lists.

We will be using clocks with entrance to the start boxes 4 minutes before your start time - so please allow enough time before your start for the 800m walk from the car park plus the four minute count down.

If you miss your start time or enter on the day, you can use the punching start as directed (when there is a suitable gap).

Thank you for helping us test the system!

Explanation of colour courses

  • White are very easy with all controls on paths. They are mainly used by 6-10 year olds and family groups.
  • Yellow use simple linear features like paths, walls and streams. They are mainly used by under 12’s and family groups.
  • Orange progress to basic use of the compass and route choice. They are ideal for novice adults or experienced youngsters.
  • Light Green are ideal for improvers as the navigational difficulty begins to increase and uses simple contours and point features.
  • Green are used mostly by experienced under 18’s and adults wanting a short but challenging course with a very hard navigational difficulty.
  • Blue are a longer, more physically demanding course in comparison to the green. The distances are more varied between controls and the course attracts experienced orienteers.
  • Brown & Black are very physically demanding and have a very hard navigational difficulty. They are for experienced orienteers only.
  • Score means visiting as many controls as possible in any order in a specific time, like 45mins.
