Training at the Chantries
This is part of our series of ‘GoMole’ training activities, organised by Guildford (GO) and Mole Valley (MV) Orienteering Clubs. They are relaxed, friendly events perfect for newcomers, including families and those looking to improve their orienteering skills.
This next activity is on Saturday 21 November at 10am; please arrive promptly.
The activity will finish at about midday.
We will be focussing on recognising controls and control descriptions. There will be two courses for beginners highlighting differing control features and a couple of more tricky courses for improvers, plus a control recognition exercise. There will be also be a score course for those that just want to have a run.
