As well as counting for QO's Forest League, scores will count towards the Devon League - we welcome all Devon OC runners making the trip.
Devon OC are letting us use Ashclyst Forest for QOFL3 in return.
A local event open to all, beginner or experienced orienteer, young or old and there are colour-coded courses suitable for all.
We have six of these events a year and together they form the Forest League (QOFL). The series starts in the Autumn and continues at approximately one event per month until the spring.
