Please make sure you have read and comply with the Participant Code Of Conduct and Parent Code Of Conduct.
Please park considerately along the side of the road (Netherclay).
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.
Course lengths are short due to the area being small but they will be fun!
An optional activity is planned for all the courses which involves the competitors drawing their course on a map. A master map will be available to copy onto individual maps.
The river is red flagged in the risk assessment so to avoid it the controls are on the path or vegetation boundary. The Fox course is a mix of urban and woods so therefore the U16’s will have to accompanied. There is undergrowth in the wooded areas so full leg covering is advised as the small trails are a little over grown.
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.
Starts at 1.30pm with controls being collected in from 3.30pm (No starts after 3pm)
