A friendly, local event in East Lothian
Please note the change of venue for this event to Barns Ness. Parking and registration is at the White Sands car park.
We will also have an earlier start window of 11:30am until 1:00pm and invite everyone to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy together on the beach afterwards!
Please note also that Online Entries are closing on THURSDAY at 22:00. We can't process entries in Denmark or while driving down the M6.
Barns Ness is a great area for orienteering, consisting of a fairly narrow strip of coastal land about 2000m long and no wider than 400m in any place; typically it's around 200m wide. The immediate coastline in the north is mainly stony beach and rocky foreshore, with intricate sandy dunes on the east facing side. A flat coastal plain extends south. The obvious man-made features include disused limekiln buildings, the Lighthouse (completed in 1901 by cousins of Robert Louis Stevenson) and an old quarry. The western edge of the area is bordered by a steep slope, rising about 15-20m above the coastal plain.
Orienteers of all abilities are welcome to join us on the day when we will have a range of courses to suit everyone and a sociable picnic afterwards!
