Orienteering on Clapham Common

Tuesday 22 May 2007

This is part of the London Tuesday evening summer series (further details to follow on the full series soon).

Location – Start and finish outside the Windmill Hotel (A Young's pub which will be serving food), on Windmill Drive just off Clapham Common South Side, SW4 9DE. Map link here. Nearest tube is Clapham Common or there is some parking (free after 6.00) in Windmill Drive and surrounding streets.

Starts – 6.45 to 7.45

Courses – Two "Sprint" courses: 5.2km or 2.2km. The shorter course is easier. SI punching will be used.

Terrain – the terrain is very runnable and mostly open but there are more contour features than you might expect on such an area. The common will be busy with joggers, tag rugby and baseball games. You will feel part of a mass sporting event.

Entry fee – £2. If possible please e-mail chair@sloweb.org.uk if you plan to come so we can estimate number of maps needed.
