Cathkin Braes Orienteering
–
02 Sep
An evening of orienteering around Cathkin Braes.
Don't worry if you've never done any orienteering before. This is a good way to try it and practice navigation; and we'll make sure those who want a buddy have one.
We'll be using an orienteering course set by STAG orienteering club which is 5.5km long with only 150m of ascent (which may not sound like much, but it can take longer than you think!). We'll be using the MapRun6 app (instructions will be shared nearer the time). The aim is to visit as many controls (in the correct order) within 90 minutes.
Please be at the start and ready to run at 7pm. The meeting point is Cathkin Brae Bike Park Top Car Park. Google map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/4yc3eHcshFDYe6cw9 What3Words ///poetic.during.joined
Each runner must carry waterproof body cover, hat, gloves, a fully charged mobile phone with the run leader’s number (get it on the night). Depending on the weather, terrain, and duration of the run try to ensure that you have enough food/fluids/spare layers.
Non-members should contact the committee@westerlandsccc.co.uk before coming to a run.
