Details

Description:Social with picnic and cake after the event, in honour of BOK's 50th anniversary. Map 1:4,000, 2.5m contours, overprinted, waterproof, size A4. Note the map scale is unusual for a forest event. We encourage parents to ensure juniors are aware of this and will expect things to appear more quickly than normal. New map, only previously used for virtual orienteering. Steep woodland on edge of river. Intricate contour detail and several crags on some slopes. Many small paths criss-cross the slope and along the river runs a larger track popular with walkers. Summer vegetation has grown up over the past weeks so full leg cover will be required. Orienteering or off- road shoes recommended, particularly if wet. Please be aware of other users of the area; in particular, horse riders, dog walkers and mountain bikers. After the race BOK will be holding a social event at Hanham community centre to celebrate the club’s 50th anniversary. Please stay after your race to join the picnic style celebrations and attempt the Maze-O course. We hope for good weather so we can hold most of the celebrations outside and not need to limit numbers. In the event of poorer weather we have access to the community centre. Due to COVID we have a cap on the number of people allowed inside so have set up a first come-first served ticketing system. We encourage you to get your ticket ASAP via the event page on the BOK website. May we kindly ask non-BOK members to join us in the outside celebrations but leave the tickets to the community centre for BOK members only.
