Holmwood Common 18th February
South London Orienteers welcome you to orienteering races on February 18th, on Holmwood Common and Scamells Grove, three miles south of Dorking.
Final Details (uploaded 10th February)
This is a British Orienteering Regional (Level C) Event. There is a choice of eight individual colour-coded courses: Brown, Blue, Green, Short Green, Light Green, Orange, Yellow and White.
We have a new map, at 1:7500, to the ISOM2017 standard. The woods are mostly natural, and on gentle slopes. There is a good path network, lots of vegetation changes, and many streams, ditches and gullies. Longer courses visit an area of runnable forest new to orienteering. Courses are planned to avoid the worst of the brambles and undergrowth.
NO DOGS please – the assembly and car park is on a working cattle farm.
 | This event is on Attackpoint. Say you are coming here! |
