Leinster League Event
Leinster League Event
Parking, Registration and Download will be in the field used for IOC, about 1100m on a forest road from the entrance to the forest. Please follow the orienteering signs and do not park in or near the cemetery.
As with all recent events, we prefer pre-entry via the online entry system. There will be limited entry on the day (by the number of spare maps we print). Groups should pre-enter to ensure maps are available.
The Start is 750m from the parking along a forest track.
From the Finish to download/parking is 750m along a forest road, joining the route to the Start after c300m.
All competitors need to be aware that this area is close to an active army training area and any ordnance (spent shells etc) are not to be touched or collected in any circumstances.
Conor Short has planned the courses:
Course Guideline:
Yellow 2.7k 90m
Red 3.8k 185m
Orange 2.9k 95m
Light Green 3.3k 125m
Green 4.2k 145m
Blue 5.0k 180m
Brown 5.8k 200m
Yellow course is designed for complete beginners - short and easy to follow (not buggy friendly!)
Red course is also designed for beginners, but is much longer (aimed at adult beginners)
Orange course is aimed at improving junior orienteers.
Light Green is where it starts to get tricky - more legs are off-track, and require compass and navigation skills
Green/Blue/Brown are all full technical difficulty (mostly off-track), just varying degrees of physical difficutly.
SIAC will be enabled on all courses. Punching Finish.
