Type of event: Training, Juniors
Most of the northern part is fairly runnable woodland, with some open areas, earth features such as ditches and depressions and a good network of paths. The southern part is largely featureless but has a network of paths.
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.
The area is muddy with some steep slippery slopes, studs would be an advantage.
The normal Hare, Squirrel, Badger and Fox courses will be available. All courses will be Pin punching only. The Badger (2.2Km 60m) has some technical elements so probably not best for your 1st attempt at Badger. The Fox (3.2Km 70m) is a linear course with longish legs and interesting route choices.
The mobile signal in the woods seems pretty good if you would like to take your phone as backup.
Start times 13:30 to 15:00
