Yvette Baker & Galoppen

A chance to run in what is claimed to be the largest privately owned forest in England.
And a carbon copy of our outing two years ago... a SW league event ('Galoppen') coinciding with the heat of the national junior inter-club competition.

Going down the tube?
For Saturday's Fox course, planner Tom Hasler has designed a special schematic London underground map of all the line features to present a greater challenge.
Stopping at Southgate, Forest Gate, Turnpike Lane, Wood Green and (earth) Bank...?

Membership
join up or renew for 2019
A condition of entry to any orienteering event is that you join a recognised orienteering club, after your first three runs. Our event insurance cover depends on this. Please remember your club membership is for calendar years, not orienteering seasons and renew if you haven't done so already.
Skilling up
A series of themed training articles and videos. It is aimed at all from those attempting Orange courses to those who would be considered experts. Most of the articles were written by Richard Sansbury but we have borrowed from other resources on You Tube and other clubs' websites.
