Hermitage (former Leisure Centre)

The courses start and finish at the former Hermitage Leisure Centre. This was demolished in January 2023 so part of all of the courses may be unusable.

There are new courses that start at the new Whitwick & Coalville Leisure Centre.

Score course: The Score course is finding as many as you can in 30 minutes and you may start and finish (at the same point) anywhere on the map.

Teachers and Youth Leaders might want to download the course check letters.

Star & Loops: This is for school and youth groups to learn how to orienteer before tackling a longer course. Download the guide and if you wish to proceed, then download the map pack (which consists of 7 maps.)

Missing Control Plaques: None reported.
