Give It A Go Orienteering 11th Jan Hookstone Woods

This event is for anyone wanting to try out orienteering: adults, children, families!

The location is especially chosen to provide safe, fun and easy-to-access places for adults and children to try out this exciting sport.

We have orienteering coaches from the club on hand at each event to help you get started and then to assist you in improving your orienteering skills.

Just turn up and we can provide you with everything you need to give it a go.

We suggest you come in shoes you are comfortable walking or running in.

Location: 14th Harrogate Scout Hut

Times:

Come from 1:30pm onwards.

You can start at any time 1:30-3pm. Courses will close at 3:15pm.

This means you need to be back at the finish by 3:15pm, otherwise we may have to come looking for you.

Getting Started:

Find us by the Claro banner.

You will be welcomed and helped to sign in.

You will be given a “dibber”, an electronic timing chip, to borrow.

If you are new to orienteering, you may like to undertake a short walk round a course with one of our coaches to help you get started.

Then you can get started on the courses as described below.

Courses (you can do as many as you want!):
At our Give It A Go events we usually have a selection of short courses of about a km each.

You can have a go at as many of these as you like, in whichever order you choose.
We also offer an ‘orange’ standard course, slightly harder and longer than the short courses (2-3km).

This is ideal for adult beginners who are confident runners, or more confident with a map.
