The 3rd Annual Ambleside AC Loughrigg Orienteering Score Event
Ambleside Rugby Club 6pm onwards Tuesday 8th April 2008
|
UPDATE
The rugby club will be open from 5.45pm on Tuesday and
you will be able to start from Fox Ghyll from 6.15pm.
Latest start times will be 7.15pm.
There will
be soup and cake back at the rugby club courtesy of Gary
and Ben (there may be a small charge for this) and THE
BAR WILL BE OPEN!!
There will
be a prizegiving at 9ish.
It might
also be a good idea to bring a bag to put your map in if
it's wet. |
Instead of the club
run on this night, members and friends of the club are
invited to demonstrate their navigation skills over a 1
hour score Orienteering course on Loughrigg. For those
unfamiliar with the sport, a score event is where you
visit as many controls (orange kites!) as you can, in
any order, and return to the start in the time you have.
This year the course
will be set by Julia Laverack and, as in previous years,
shouldn’t be too testing by orienteering standards. This
event is also part of the club championship.
The rugby
club will be open from 6pm for changing then you will
need to mark up your map there then tackle the first
navigational challenge of making your way to the start
at Foxes Ghyll on the under Loughrigg road.
-
You can
start any time between 6.30 and 7.15
-
There
will be 16 controls and the idea is to visit as many
as you can in 1 hour in any order
-
You get
10 points for each control you visit
-
You will
lose 5 points for each minute that you are late over
1 hour
-
You will
need a watch, compass, whistle and 50p for a map
When
you finish, the rugby club will be open for showers and
soup and cake.
If anyone can help out with the food side of
things, either making or serving, then let me know
Hopefully
the bar will be open too so you can analyse how many
times you got lost in true geeky orienteering fashion
See you
there
