WELCOME TO BORDER LINERS

 

        CHRISTMAS CHOCO-O 2009  CLICK FOR A PIC 

 

 

This year the Choco-O is on the Northern Fells.

 

Now With Extended Opening until Easter, probably.

 
Debbie comments (1st Feb):- Have dug out the 4th control on the short course. It is in a snow hole. Worth going to see.  One more control to sort out. Was thinking we should leave it out until Easter
 

Parking is along the roadside at GR350 350. The verges are very soft so please take care when you park.

 

The start is at the SE wall corner at GR350 353.

 

  • Short course is 10km, 450metres – Start, 5 controls and the Finish
  • Long course is 15km, 700metres – Start, 7 controls and the Finish

Use Outdoor Leisure 5 North Eastern area for both courses:-

NB The maps need to be the DOUBLE-SIDED Editions (newer than 1998). The older, (single-sided) versions DON'T cover the area!
 

If not confident in your navigation and doing the Long Course, we suggest you take the North Western Outdoor Leisure 4.

 

Controls will be marked with an orienteering kite on the ground.  At each control there is a stake which provides a description and grid reference of the next control.

 

Please carry a waterproof top and trousers, hat and gloves, compass, whistle and a small amount of emergency food.  You also need to be able to mark the next control on your map at each control.

 

Courses open from Friday 18th December to 31st January AND NOW EXTENDED UNTIL THE EASTER, PROBABLY.

 

If you have any enquiries about the course please ring Alan Radcliffe 01768 891067 or Debbie Thompson 01931 714106
