We cater from beginners through to a good club standard. We call the courses Hare, Squirrel, Badger, and Fox and these offer a clear progression in the difficulty level. The Fox course usually incorporates adult training exercises.

Hare to Badger usually uses PIN punching. Fox is sometimes PIN punching and sometimes GPS punching. The latter is also automatically uploaded to Routegadget.

Entry Details

• Entry - £3 per person pre-entered or £4 per person on the day
• Dibber hire - Free (but if lost you would be liable for the replacement cost of £30)

Please note that pre-entries close at midnight the Tuesday before as we need to know entry numbers for map printing purposes. Entry on the day will be available but there will be limited map numbers so pre-entry is strongly advised to avoid disappointment.

Pre-Entries

Please consider buying a pack of pre-entry credits in advance. This costs you the same but saves the club a lot in credit card fees.
