Report

We hope you had a great time in the lovely weather on Saturday and managed to find parts of Coldham's Common you didn't know existed! Stephen, the planner, found a few new bits himself and added them to the map for you to explore.

Thanks as always to all our helpers who made the event run smoothly.

Park-O Series Info

Our Park-O events are an easy way for juniors and adults to try orienteering. Based in parks around Cambridge, Park-O takes place on a Saturday afternoon 1pm-3pm. We schedule our Park-Os in the gaps between our full scale Sunday orienteering events and we hope that once you have tried Park-O you will come along to all our events.

Course Information

We typically offer the following courses at a Park-O event:

  • Short  ~ 2km Easy (Comparable to a "Yellow" course at a regular Orienteering event)
  • Long  ~ 3km Medium difficulty (Comparable to an "Orange" course at a regular O event)    
  • Odds/Evens score course - intended for more experienced orienteers: visit as many controls as you can within a fixed time limit of 30 minutes. You can get odds and then evens or evens then odds, but once you switch you cannot go back.

If you want to know more about how we grade courses as "Easy", "Medium" etc., look for the "Colour Coded Course Standards" section in our beginners' guide.
