Results

Apologies for swapping control codes 209 and 217. Legs 3-4 on the short course and 4-5 on the long have been removed from the results to compensate for this.

Hope you all enjoyed the lovely area and the chance to compare splits over soup in the hall afterwards.

Pre Event Info

Braes was mapped many years ago but for some reason never used until interest from Logie Coldstone school led to the map being redrawn and updated in 2017. It is a delightful flat and runnable area with soft contours that could make for some tricky navigation at night.

Everyone welcome including non night afficionados. We will have Logie Coldstone hall available for registration, warming up and refuelling after the race and hope that everyone will take time to stop and socialise. The World Schools fund-raisers will have soup, drinks and cakes on offer.

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.
