Location

Venue:Stockhill
Nearest town:Priddy
Postcode:BA5 3AS
Grid reference:ST549511
Parking information:On forest roads within Stockhill plantation. You must NOT use the main public car park; if you do you risk us not being allowed to use Stockhill for future events. Longer courses cross the forest roads and we are deliberately avoiding parking in these areas. Please follow marshals’ instructions and park only as directed. This is important for the safety of all runners and other forest users.
Dog rules:Dogs are only allowed in the Parking Area and must be on a lead AT ALL TIMES during the event. If you wish to run with your dog, please do so after courses close at 2pm. Please clear up after your dog. This is a popular area for members of the public to walk dogs. Unfortunately there have been several instances at previous events here of uncontrolled dogs confronting, jumping at or chasing runners. If possible, avoid surprising a dog. We are posting notices to warn dog-walkers (and others) of our event, which hopefully may encourage them to walk elsewhere, or later that day, but orienteers, particularly children and their parents, need to be aware of this problem.

Courses

Course description:A working forest at altitude of 275m in the Mendip Hills. Tree cover is mostly coniferous and runnable, with some cleared areas. The ground features are a product of the rise and fall of lead mining, leaving many pits, depressions, rock outcrops, gullies and small hills. There are some forest roads and an irregular path network. Helpers with ‘Ask Me’ bibs can help beginners to choose an appropriate course and provide advice. We hope to have a String course – to be confirmed.
Colour coded courses:White, Yellow, Orange, Light Green, Short Green, Green, Blue, Brown
