This "Try-O" event is intended in particular for newcomers to Orienteering. There will be courses suitable for novices of all ages, and especially juniors.

Help will be on hand to explain the basics and also provide information on the sport, the club and on future events.

This event will use pin-punching. Pre-marked maps will be provided. Please bring a plastic bag to protect your map (A4 size).

Registration will be adjacent to the main car park at the Heath Sports and Social Club.

White, Yellow and Orange plus a longer (approx 5km) course for more experienced entrants.

If you are a beginner, please read our web-page What is orienteering?  It will probably answer many of your questions.

A Training Session for club members only will run in tandem with this event. This is one of our series of training events in the run up to the CompassSport Cup final on 19 October and will concentrate on contours, of which there are quite a few in Sutton Park.

We do hope that club members will give the training a try, as it is an ideal opportunity to concentrate on your skills rather than your speed. Entry fees for training will be the same as for the score, and anyone doing both will only have to pay once - but since the training will use some of the same control sites as the score the recommendation is that to get maximum benefit from the training it would be better not to have previously done the score. You are advised to arrive by 12:00 if you intend to take part in the training, which will begin at the latest at 12:30.
