Course Information
Yellow 2.0km
Controls (checkpoints) are very easy to find, mostly on paths, ideal for younger children and complete beginners.
Orange 3.0km
Controls are on or near paths with some route choice. Good for progressing juniors and adults who are reasonably confident reading a map.
Green 4.5km
Controls are away from paths giving more navigational challenge. Suitable for those with some experience.
Blue 6.5km
As technically as hard as we can make it; for experienced orienteers.
