Purbeck Weekend - Studland Dunes and Agglestone Heath
21 - 22 October
A Purbeck Weekend of orienteering with both events based around National Trust's Knoll Beach facilities. On Saturday a middle distance event on the technically challenging Studland Dunes. The competition is open to all clubs and is also the SW Middle Distance Champs, with podium certificates awarded in every age category. The Top 3 juniors will also receive a distinctive (not for sale) Purbeck Weekend SW Middle Distance Championship 2023 Buff. On Sunday we have the usual long distance cross-country, colour coded courses on offer on Agglestone Heath.
For the legstrong wishing to make a full weekend there is also a MapRun for which you can buy a map for £1.00 and collect on Saturday. The map will also be made available to download from the event page. The 1 hour score course will be using a new map of Corfe Castle Village and Corfe Common.
A commemorative Purbeck Weekend BUFF featuring the colourful map of Studland Dunes is available to buy with your entry for £7.00 - but our stock is limited to 30. When they're gone that option will show as "sold out".
For those wishing to camp, the Woodyhyde Campsite, between Corfe and Langton Matravers is available.
