On offer is a choice of three short courses for just one entry fee – navigate your way around as many as you want!
Suitable for all abilities and ages.
Great fun for families, small groups and individuals. Try one course, have a cup of tea and a chat at the café and then try another.

Experienced orienteers and runners have a serious workout opportunity in glorious parkland.
