Autumn Parks Event Ashenbury Park
|
||||
| Type |
Summer Parks Event (Level D). An open event suitable for beginners - all welcome! We encourage people who have not tried orienteering before to give it a go. The aim of orienteering is to complete a course in the shortest time you can. You can run or walk, alone, with a friend or as a family. You are given a map with the course to follow and there are a number of control points that you must visit in order. You will recognise each control by an orange and white kite (as photo above) with a small control unit that you swipe with your SI dibber attached to one of your fingers. When you reach the finish, you download the dibber to find out how long you took between the controls. |

| Courses |
Short - 2km Medium - 4 km Long - 6km These distances are 'as the crow flies' therefore the actual distance travelled will be around 40% further for the Medium and Long courses. Courses close at 13:00. Important: The Medium and Long courses will be crossing roads on the estate - cross with care. Any competitor under 16 must be accompanied by an appropriate responsible adult. The Short course will remain within Ashenbury Park and under 16s are permitted to tackle this course on their own. |
