The Maytime Scamper-O orienteering event is at Gradbach! - Public Car Park (GR998662).
Evening Orienteering 90 min Score Event. Mass Start at 7pm. Registration from 6.15pm.
Similar format to previous years with the innovation of maps and questionnaires on waterproof paper (old hands will still bring plastic bags though). Ideal for all abilities. Just do as much as you like at your own speed but get back within 90 mins, or you start losing all the points you have gained. Juniors welcome but compete with an adult.
90 minute limit compared to 2 hours in 2014 at Gradbach. There's no chance of getting all of the controls in 90 mins, so getting the strategy right at the start will be more important than usual. I might give you a few minutes after issuing the maps before letting you set off.
Weather looks set fair but bring a waterproof cag in addition to a pen or pencil and compass.
Entry fee? - There may be a modest charge levied, or request for a donation to club funds (still to be decided).
Enter as individual, pairs or threes.
Afterwards – in the Rose and Crown for post mortem and + The Legendary Prizegiving where the prizes will be even more lavish than usual. Augmented this year by John Mooney having recently rifled through his kitchen cupboards.
Food - The Rose and Crown serve food but may be finished taking orders by the we arrive. Best to ring 01260 227 232 and put your orders in before 8.30pm or call in and place your order before the event.
We should have more than enough maps available if we've guessed right, but please post or let me know if you want to take part and haven't done so already.
