The penultimate event of the 2013 GLOSS series takes place on Streatham Common, The Rookery and Norwood Grove in south London on Sunday 14 July.
GLOSS is a friendly inter-club competition run on the Light Green course, with a fiendishly complicated handicap scoring system which favours the less experienced. All courses are open to all-comers, whether beginners or experienced. Details of GLOSS series are available from London Orienteering Klubb.
