A rare opportunity to try a weekend of Trail Orienteering either side of the Humber Bridge. Both events are within 2km of the Humber Bridge – one to the North and one to the South!
Both venues are accessible by public transport - train to Hull interchange and bus to/over the Humber Bridge. The two venues are very different both offering interesting courses which incorporate different disciplines. Both have good tracks suitable for wheelchairs and are slightly undulating with no steep hills.
An SI dibber is needed for both start and finish (it can be hired). The answers are to be recorded using a needle punch on a control card supplied. As these are British TrailO League (BriTOL) events, entry is for individuals only (no group entry) as discussion on the courses is not allowed. beginners may go as pairs but not count towards league.
