Courses

Two courses are on offer. A Junior (M/W14-) with a 30 minute time limit and a senior score with a 45 minute time limit.

The Junior course will be confined to the grounds of St Columbs Park.
The Senior course will also include Ebrington Square (crossing Browning Drive which is a public road – please take extra care here).

The Senior course will use a double sided map with even number control on side one, odd on side two. Competitors will initially visit as many even controls on side one as they wish before turning over the map continuing with the odd controls on side two.

Please note that once you punch an odd control you cannot score more points from visiting even controls – the sides must be run in order.

Map

A newly updated 1:4000 map will be used by both courses.

Cafe in the Park

St Columb’s Park House Cafe will be open for the duration of the event for Coffee / Tea and light meals.

NIOA Prize Giving

The NIOA prizing will follow the Orienteering at approximately 15:30.
