Milngavie golf course - Dark Park Orienteering 7

This night event, organised by CLYDE, is the 7th in the Glasgow Dark Parks Orienteering series.
Please note that under 16s can only take part as a pair with an experienced orienteer.

Terrain: Typical golf course, mostly runnable with some small areas of trees, on the NW edge of Milngavie.

This event is based at Milngavie Golf Club G62 8EP, based in the car park with their kind permission. Access by car from the Drymen Road or by bike/on foot 2.4km up the West Highland way from Milngavie Railway Station.

If driving, the golf course is signposted off the Drymen Road about 1km past the Mains Estate roundabout. From the Drymen Road you then follow an increasingly unlikely looking road for 2km through a farm and eventually to the Clubhouse.
