Autumn orienteering in the New Forest. Beginners and families welcome.

Join us for a Saturday event at Bramshaw in the New Forest with courses for all skills and all ages. The terrain is a mix of old woodland with contour detail, open areas and a path network (intricate in parts).

If you are new to orienteering or new to the club or just want to talk about how to progress with your orienteering, one of our coaches will be on hand to help.

Location
This year we have the use of the Bramshaw Village Hall small committee room which is accessed by going around the right of the main hall. The entrance to the committee room is then on your left had side.
As this is a popular area for orienteering we would like to maximise the number of people able to take part in the event, despite the limited parking due to sharing the hall with another group.
Please help us to do this by opting for one of the following:
-Share your car with family or friends.
-use the car share function on racesignup to find someone to give a lift to or to get a lift from.
-Park in a nearby car park and walk to the Bramshaw Village Hall.
