Electronic Timing devices give times at each control point

 

Starts between 1pm and 2.30pm approx in the City Centre.

 

Four Courses - Distances later but approx. 2.5km  to 7km - these are crow-fly distances!!

 

Team Competition for Local Teams of Four (Not more than one team member to be a member of an Orienteering Club) - the chance for local groups of friends, work colleagues and other sports team-mates to show their worth. ( You should note that Members of a Team compete as four individuals OR two pairs - their four times are added together for the Team Prize)

Carlisle is a fantastic pedestrianised City with historic Castle and Cathedral, new (ish) 1980's award-winning single-storey shopping centre and riverside parkland (to accommodate the smaller floods!!!) almost exactly half-way from Land's End to John O Groats,  and is on the Main West Coast railway line, with good London-Glasgow bus links and NON-STOP Glasgow-London Motorway.

FRIENDLY FAST AND  FUN!
