The 5TH Annual Ambleside AC Loughrigg Orienteering Score Event

Lakes Runner, 6pm onwards Tuesday 13th April 2010

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 again be set by Michelle and, as in previous years, shouldn’t be too testing by orienteering standards. This event is also part of the club championship.

Lakes Runner 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.

• You can start any time between 6.30 and 7.15
• There will be 16 controls (tbc) 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, Bilbo's at Lakes Runner will be open for soup and cake and the prize-giving.

See you there
