Sept 19: Glasgow orienteering event

Written by Fiona August 30 2010

Thanks to Christine from the Clydeside Orienteers for reminding me about their next orienteering event. These events are aimed at all ages, experience and fitness levels.

The event: SPOSOL Cloberfield orienteering event.

When: September 19, 2010.

Entries: See O-entries.  Closing date September 13, 2010.

Price: Senior non-BOF £8; Senior BOF £6; Junior/Student £3.50.

Registration opens at 10am at the end of Cloberfield on September 19.

Tell me more: This event includes a huge mixture of terrain. At the south end there’s the urban environment of Milngavie town centre. The north is open countryside, including moorland and mixed plantation forest. Meanwhile in between is managed country park, woodland and moorland. There are even two ruined castles and WWII archeology. Orienteers will enjoy a good network of paths, as well as some interesting challenges by way of intricate details in contours, rock and vegetation.
