Type of event: Training, Juniors
Due to the dense woodland and steep scarp in parts of some courses, we won't have GPS punching available at this event. There will be real flags at each control, with a choice of pin punching or QR punching.
This is a new date after the woodland was closed due to Storm Eunice. We are grateful to FE for being able to slot us in again so quickly.
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 to train. Newcomers are always welcome.
Information on the full series for this term is at JOG Spring 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.
Parking on opposite side of road to woodland entrance. Limited extra parking available in woodland entrance.
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 incorporates adult training exercises.
Hare to Badger usually have the choice between PIN punching and QR code punching using your smartphone. The latter has the training benefit of the GPS track automatically being added to Routegadget for post-run analysis. Fox is sometimes PIN/QR punching and sometimes GPS punching. The latter is also automatically uploaded to Routegadget.
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.
