OK Nuts 2026
National Event Monday May 4th 2026
South London Orienteers invite you to take part in the OK Nuts Trophy 2026, our premier forest race of the year, on Monday May 4th 2026. It is being held in Winterfold Forest, one of the best forests for the sport in our part of England.
Terrain
Winterfold is lovely on a nice day and great for challenging orienteering whatever the weather. It was used for the British Championships in 2013, the OK Nuts in December 2015 and May 2021, and the Veteran Home International in December 2021.
Winterfold is a mix of gentle and steep slopes, with many re-entrants, gullies and paths. There are also sections of detailed broken ground and runnability is generally good.
Map
The Map with 5 metre contours to ISOM2017-2. All maps on waterproof paper with course details and control descriptions on the front. There is no legend on the map. If you require a legend some will be available at Enquiries.
