Course Information

60 minute score suitable for all abilities. 20 controls numbered 90-99 and 100-109; visit as many controls as you wish in any order in one series and then change to the other series. There is no changeover control; change series wherever you want. 10 points per control, 10 points penalty per minute/part minute late return. Controls will be collected after 70 minutes (course closing time).

Maps will be printed on A4 waterproof paper. Scale 1:7500 with 5 m contours.

Controls are not SIAC enabled. Separate/loose control descriptions are not provided.

If you are new to Night Orienteering and would like someone to help you get started please email the organiser or make yourself known on the night.

Explanation of Score courses

You don't have to visit all the controls! There is usually a time limit, instead of a set course. Points are scored for visiting controls, and deducted for finishing over the time limit. You decide which controls to visit, and in which sequence. Sometimes controls have different points values. You will need to carry a watch or phone, so you know how long you have been out.

Entry Details

Entry on the Day: Seniors (British Orienteering members) £4, Non-members of BO £6.  Juniors & students £3. Group: £10 (1 dibber; map for each participant).   Dibber loan: Free

Please email the organiser if you intend coming so we know how many maps to print (some extras will be done, if you suddenly realise you can make it).

You will need: SPORT IDENT dibber to borrow if you don’t have one. Some sort of torch essential plus a small backup/reserve. Carrying a whistle is mandatory (as a casualty, blow six short blasts, wait 1 min, repeat). A cagoule may be required in inclement weather.
