Compasssport Cup SOA Qualifying Round

Amendment to final details:

Please note, W18- are on course 7a and not 7b.  Course 8 is M14- & W14-.

Revised options for parking for families with young children. Maroc have listened to various comments and complaints about the parking/event locations for this Sunday and have come up with a possible solution to the walk to start issue for those with young children. There will be parking available on the road immediately south of the river Dee bridge in Aboyne (wide road, no parking markings and fairly quiet). This is on the route between registration at the school and the starts. From here it is approx 800m to the Near Start and 200m further to Far Start. Please can competitors only use this parking if they have a problem with young children as the space is limited and excessive numbers will cause traffic problems for all other road users.

Main parking at Aboyne Academy.

Entries via oentries, closing date 8th February 2013 and there will be limited eod for non compass sport competition (light green, orange, yellow and white). All Compass Sport competitors must be entered on oentries before the deadline of 8th February 2013.

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.
