Henlade Hill

Directions / Parking

The car park is small, so most of you will probably have to park nearby on the roadside. There are not many options so please park tightly and be courteous to the neighbours.

The road past the wood is quiet, but it is a through-route so please take care on the roads and supervise children.

Course Information

The Hare course is 1.1km with 40m climb and 13 controls, looping around the whole area.

The Squirrel course is 1.6km with 50m climb and 16 controls, through the heart of the wood.

The Badger course is 2.0km with 90m climb and 19 controls, making two loops through the wood, with opportunity to get away the main trails.

The Fox course is a special format aimed at experienced orienteers. There are 20 controls in 10 pairs. After you punch the first of each pair you must punch the other in the pair next. But you can do the pairs in any order so careful planning will pay off!

All courses are open to all ages, we'll be happy to give advice.
