Balgone Estate
Saturday 30th May
Entries close 20:05 on Friday 29th May
A friendly, local event in East Lothian
Balgone was first mapped in 2022 - it is a wooded area with two lochs and plenty of spectacular landscape features.
We are very grateful to James Grant-Suttie and the Balgone estate for permission to map and use this beautiful area for orienteering.
Orienteers of all abilities are welcome to join us on the day when we will have a range of courses to suit everyone. The White course is relatively short which means that if you start early, there is a good opportunity to do the Yellow course afterwards. We have ordered some extra white and yellow maps to allow you to do this.
