Saturday Series

Courses of all standards and help for beginners is available. Course lengths are normally upto Green standard, although the planner may offer a longer Green course for those wanting a longer run.
The normal cost for these events is £2 for adults and £1 for juniors.
Registration normally open from about 10am until 11.30am, and starts from 10.30am until 12 noon. No formalities, just turn up and enjoy.
Emit electronic punching is used at these events.
For a definition of the course colour standard see the British Orienteering newcomers guide.
