Quantocks Challenge
This is our annual long score course that attracts competitors from across the south of England. Suitable for orienteers and trail runners, the nav isn't too hard - it is the route choice that'll make the difference.
The Quantock Challenge, started in 2020 by our chair Alasdair Shaw, is a 5-hour (the long course) or 3-hour (the short course) virtual orienteering course using two maps at 1:25000. The colouring and symbology are the standard orienteering system.
