A range of courses increasing in length and complexity for all the family.
GO have very kindly leant us Newlands Corner for our January event. Most of the competition area occupies the northern wooded slope of an East/West ridge. Runnability changes rapidly from white open to varying patches of green, with many mapped vegetation boundaries. One part has extensive bramble: this is largely impenetrable but laced with mapped paths.

A comprehensive risk assessment will have been carried out by the organiser. Competitors are responsible for their own personal safety and for assessing their own abilities to complete the course. Neither Southern Navigators, the landowner or British Orienteering can be held liable for any accident or other incident arising while undertaking the event. Participants take part at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety during the event - including clothing appropriate for the conditions, and if required, a means of summoning assistance (e.g. phone or whistle).
After forest orienteering, please check thoroughly for ticks and remove immediately if you find them. Lyme Disease is on the increase in the South East!
