Type of event: Race
Triscombe Stone leads on to steep open moorland allowing plenty of route choice and physical challenge. Unfortunately felling operations mean we have no access into the forest this time. But the hills should be looking beautifully Autumnal, and the views will hopefully be excellent!
The new chairman will be presenting trophies for the 2025/26 QOFL season at 2.30pm.
Our league events are open to all, beginner or experienced orienteer, young or old and there are colour-coded courses suitable for all.
We have a number of these events a year and together they form the Forest League (QOFL). The series starts in the Autumn and continues until the following Spring.
Please note that all our league events will be Regional events (Level C).
Anyone can get a result for an event, but for it to be included in the league scoring you have to be a member of a British Orienteering affiliated club at the time of entry.
