WARRIOR BATTLEAXE evening score events

Popular series of Wednesday evening informal score events when the woods are at their best.

Suitable for families, beginners and orienteers of all abilities. There's plenty of help available if you're new to orienteering.

The format is simple - get as many controls as you can out of a possible total of 20 in one hour. Each control is worth 10 points, but there is a penalty of 5 points for each minute you are late back after the hour. Beware - its easy to try to get too many and find you don't have enough time to get back without a penalty.

Events are on Wednesday evenings. Suitable for all abilities. A result in all 3 events is required for an overall result.

Registration 17.30 -18.30 . Starts between 18.00 - 19.00. Courses close 20.00. Check here just before the events as minor details may change at last minute. Cost 5.00 / 2.00

Controls will be SIAC enabled but please punch both the check and start controls.

Safety advice: Courses close at 20.00. Everyone must report back by then. There will be very little daylight to organize a rescue. Mountain Rescue will be called at 20.30 if anyone is missing. If you are a novice please start at 18.00 to ensure plenty of daylight.
