Planners Comment:
After completing my first ever orienteering course at a JOG up at King's Cliff nearly 12 years ago, it was lovely to be asked to plan there. Thank you to everyone who came today and sounds like you all had fun despite most coming back with wet feet! Thank you also to Roger and Judy for their continued support and hope to see you all soon, whether that's at another JOG or out in a forest somewhere!
Our Junior Orienteering Group (JOG) runs during term times holding low-key weekly events aimed at juniors, families, and all those looking to improve or train. Newcomers are always welcome.
Non-members are very welcome. If you like it and want to join, read about joining QO here.

Gate at the top will be open for Orienteers to drive down and park at the bottom.
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, and sometimes also the option of QR code punching using your smartphone. The latter has the training benefit of the GPS tracks automatically being added to Routegadget for post-run analysis. Fox is sometimes PIN/QR punching and sometimes GPS punching. The latter is also automatically uploaded to Routegadget.
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.
