Type of event: Training, Juniors
This is a small but very convenient area, ideal for children wishing to have a go on their own. The courses are being planned by Al Hemmings (W12). The Fox course will be an urban sprint in Bishops Hull using a new map.
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.
Information on the full series for this term is at Junior Orienteering Group (JOG) Autumn 2022.
Non-members are very welcome. If you like it and want to join, read about joining QO here.

Please make sure you have read and comply with the Participant Code Of Conduct and Parent Code Of Conduct.
There is some parking available on Netherclay, the road running alongside the wood. Please park responsibly. You can also use the Park & Ride car park, cross Silk Mills Road at the pedestrian crossing, and follow the pavement to the road junction.
The Hare, Squirrel, and Badger courses remain in Netherclay. The Fox course is an urban sprint including parks, streets, and roads (and Netherclay), so under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
Netherclay is usually busy with other users, so please be respectful.
The footbridge from Bishops Hull to Netherclay is strictly out of bounds for all participants.
On the Fox course, the main roads on the East and South boundaries of the map ( Stonegallows (A38) and Silk Mills Road) are out of bounds, but there is a pavement that can be used (no other pavements are marked on the map but are usually present). The cricket pitch is out of bounds.
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.
