Pre Event Info

Shooting Greens - Local event (Level D)

Attached are the results from today. I have attached a jpeg of each course, which is for the people who gave in their maps. Thanks to everyone who returned their maps as we underestimated the numbers of competitors on the long, by more than 11. Thanks to everyone for being very tolerant of my mistakes as this was my first event.  And thanks to everyone for buying the cakes and trifles.  It's a huge boost to my fundraising.

Thanks
Andrew Campbell

Course Information

Three courses:
Long - 5.1 (Blue/Green, TD5)
Med - 2.8 (Orange/LGreen, TD3-4)
Short - 1.8 (White/Yellow, TD1-2)

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.
