Purbeck Weekend - Studland Dunes and Agglestone Heath
21 - 22 October
Entries are closed!
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.
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.
