Withdean Park

Report

Si Team Notes: Some manual corrections applied to Yellow course results due to a missing control 4 (128) during some of the event. On the Orange course, control 9 and on the Sprint course, control 15 (113) was not working and has been removed from the results. This means that you will need to subtract 1 from control numbers 10 and above on Orange maps and 16 and above on Sprint maps to match the split results. Control codes are not affected.

Planners notes to follow.

RouteGadget

Is a web app for sharing and comparing orienteering routes. You can draw your own route or upload a GPS track from your watch. It also allows you to watch an animated replay with a simulated mass start.

Pre event info

Sign up at RaceSignUp. Withdean Park has mixed terrain including woodland and open areas. It also features a technical zone of lilac planting which requires close attention to the map.

Park O Series Info

Park-Os are friendly club events, usually in parks or school grounds, where children and newcomers are very welcome. These are fun events where you can get a feeling for the sport – you can walk or run, go as a group or on your own or challenge your navigation at high speed against some of our top competitive orienteers. Yellow and Orange courses are suitable for children to run on their own with a bit of practice. Adults are welcome to shadow children until they are confident to go on their own. Sprint courses are run or walked by any age group.

The Park-O series takes place in the early summer and early Autumn and is 8 events this year. Certificates are awarded for the best placed in a variety of age categories.
