SUMMARY:N.Ireland Open Orienteering Championships
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 13th October 2018\n[caption id="attachment_3618" align
 ="alignleft" width="240"] Scots Pines abound in this former Demesne and Fo
 restry School grounds[/caption]\n\nThis year's Open Championships will be 
 held in a forest new to Orienteering – Pomeroy\, between Dungannon and C
 ookstown. The forest was formerly the Demesne of Pomeroy House (built circ
 a 1780 by Robert Lowry) and still contains stands of ornamental planting o
 f Scots Pines and the ruins of walled gardens. In the mid-twentieth centur
 y the old house and land was acquired by Northern Ireland Forest Service a
 nd demolished to make way for a purpose built specialist forestry college 
 which operated until 2006\, however it now lies derelict. It is now a recr
 eational forest with walks\, an outdoor exercise trail\, children’s play
 ground and an abundance of wildlife including occasional deer.\nFinal Info
 rmation (new 10th October)\n\nPlease see the "Final Information Sheet" for
  details of the starting procudures\, event layout\,  out of bounds areas
  and the use of crossing points. These should be read in conjunction with 
 the information on this page.\nTerrain Notes:\nFrom an orienteering perspe
 ctive\, the useable areas of the forest are mainly coniferous\, undulating
  and with an abundance of old boundaries and drainage ditches. A few areas
  of rough open parkland with mature isolate trees are reminders of the for
 mer Demesne. There are a number of paths and trail loops varying from heav
 ily used stone blinded paths to less distinct trails used only by the more
  adventurous walker. The courses have been planned within the runnable are
 as\, visibility is generally good. Only some legs will encounter mixed scr
 ubby seasonal vegetation depending upon the route chosen. Whilst runabilit
 y is generally good\, the momentum is often broken by ditches\, ridges and
  furrows associated with the lines of planting. The area is very compact\,
  so in order to keep path running to a minimum expect courses with lots of
  twisting and turning with higher numbers of controls than usual.\nGetting
  there:\n[caption id="attachment_3617" align="alignleft" width="600"] Pome
 roy forest is most easily accessed from the junction of the A29 with the B
