There will be several courses to choose from, including short easy courses for newcomers. Once you have registered, you will be given a special map showing your course and the object is to navigate your way round the control points on the map, in the correct order and registering each one with a small electronic timing device we will lend you. The easy courses will follow paths and the controls will be easy to spot, however if you choose a more difficult course then your navigation and route choice skills between the controls will be tested! You can start at any time between 10.30am and 12pm.
