Bigland Regional Event 27th April 2008

Classic Lakeland terrain, a big steep slope which is highly intricate and covered with mature decidous trees, mature beech and oak woodland on easier going, and very intricate with a wealth of contour detail on the 'flatter' bit. Mixed together with some very fast open running, and you have another of the best areas in England.

This event is combined with a Short race on the Saturday (Haverthwaite). Make a week end of it and come for some of the best orienteering of the year.

Event 'final details' here

Stop press - there was an error in version 1.01 of the final details. The revised version 1.02 of the final details (link above) now shows the colour coded entry fee for adults is £5.00 for British Orienteering members and £7.00 for non members.

Start times at oentries.com (look for the box above the map entitled 'actions')

Descriptions: courses 1 to 4 courses 5 to 10 courses 11 to 13 (new black versions posted 2008-04-25 17:25)

COLOUR CODED BADGES NOW AVAILABLE

Free to juniors, 50p each to seniors.

Contact: Judy Burge (01229 889102) with details of results to claim your award

LOC now has a stock of cloth badges (White to Green) available for any member who qualifies for a Colour Coded Award for a particular colour course. A competitor qualifies for a colour coded award by achieving the Colour Coded Standard for that colour course on 3 separate occasions. Pairs can qualify for awards on the White, Yellow and Orange courses only.  A White Standard is achieved by anyone who successfully completes the White course.  For courses other than White, the Colour Coded Standard is calculated using whichever of the following two methods gives the larger number of qualifiers:

·         The time that is achieved by at least 50% of competitors (including those who retired or were disqualified). A pair counts as a single competitor for this purpose.

·         150% of the winner’s time
