Bristol Orienteering Klub look forward to welcoming you to the glorious Royal Forest of Dean for the British Long Distance and Relay Orienteering Championships 2015.

 
The weekend will be centred on the field behind the Speech House Hotel (GL16 7EL SO620121) which will be used for our Assembly (Enquiries and traders etc) and parking for both days. Each event is only a short walk away from the Assembly and parking field.
 
Speech House and the competition areas are easily accessible from the M4, M5 and M48 motorways.
 
The event will be using SportIdent electronic timing and the maps for all 3 areas have been resurveyed using LiDAR data by Peel Land Surveys during 2014.  
 
You will find further provisional information on the following pages and updates will be issued in due course.
 
We will be staging the British TrailO Championships 2015 on the Saturday. See the information on the TrailO page. 
 
We are immensely grateful for the help and cooperation of the Forestry Commission and the Speech House Hotel.
