Course Information

Five courses available:

Yellow - Controls (checkpoints) are very easy to find, mostly on main paths, ideal for younger children and complete beginners. Approx. distance 1.5 to 2.5 km.

Orange - Moderate, controls are on or near paths with more route choice. Good for progressing juniors and beginner adults who are reasonably confident reading a map. Approx. distance 2.5 to 3.5 km.

Green - As technically hard as we can make it, for experienced orienteers requiring a shorter run than the blue course. Approx. distance 4 to 5.5 km.

Blue - As technically hard as we can make it, for experienced orienteers. Approx. distance 5.5 to 6.5 km,.

Score - No set distance, but a 60 minute time limit. Find as many of the 21 controls as possible in one hour. Good for adult beginners, those progressing from orange to green, and those that want to be back in a set time.
