Full list of all future events
Night Terrain 7 - Great Tower
The controls, including the finish, will be enabled in contactless mode so that those with SIAC dibbers should not need to physically punch the controls.
If you are using contactless punching there is no need to touch the control boxes, and it has been noted that some runners hit them hard enough to knock them out of the ground and potentially damage the control box. Please don't do this because a failed control would disrupt the event results for all the competitors.
However, note that it will be necessary to punch the start controls which will not be programmed in contactless mode.
Some notes on using SIACs are attached.
There may also be SAFETY controls after the FINISH which must be punched by all runners - this is necessary to enable us to confirm that all runners have returned from the course.
Come and Try It - Fell Foot
Get a taste of orienteering at a free Come and Try It event at Fell Foot this February half term. Join one of our team outdoors and have a go at orienteering first hand. Appropriate for all ages, drop in and perhaps navigate your way to a brand new hobby.

What is Orienteering?
Orienteering is a sport that combines map reading and running. Competitors have to find their way between a series of checkpoints, called controls, as quickly as possible.
