2nd in the DNC series - as Oldglutton said, "the real TD5 stuff starts here" – at CRAZY CAMBUS.

Thinking of entering the British Night Champs, then this is not to be missed. Typical Muir of Dinnet terrain, a real mixture – tough – technical – challenging, and that’s in the daylight!

World Schools soup kitchen will be in attendance, just as soon as they're back from their run. Don't forget to bring your own mug and some pennies.

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.
