Message from the Organiser

Thank you to everyone who took part in today’s event at Wisley Common. I hope you enjoyed your course. We were lucky to have access to such a beautiful area thanks to the kind permission of the Surrey Wildlife Trust and the Royal Horticultural Society.

I apologise if you experienced a shortage of maps or a delay to download your data. We were fortunate to have a record number of competitors for a Saturday Series event; and we were using a new version of timing software which has introduced some significant changes. I’m especially grateful to everyone who generously gave up their map after finishing in order to allow someone else to take part.

Some lost property was recovered: various baseplate compasses and a key on a keyring with a red metal rabbit. If any of them might be yours, please email events@southernnavigators.com.

I hope you can come to the next Saturday Series event in Feb on a new area

Phil Slingsby

Pre Event Info

SN Saturday Series Old Series Info

These events are ideally suited to beginners, juniors and family groups who want to try orienteering or move up from school to forest orienteering.

Club members (wearing yellow high visibility jackets) are there to help. Just turn up on the day between 9.30 and 11.00 dressed to run or walk.

You don’t need any special equipment. Go to registration to pay for your map and electronic timing “dibber” hire and the helpers will suggest a suitable course. Most families start with a “Yellow” level course which is about 2.5km long and will take around 30-45 minutes. If you would like any help or advice, ask at registration. You can start your course anytime up until 11.30 and when you finish you should come back to the registration area to “download” your times and get your results. Downloading provides a safety check confirming that all participants have returned, so it is important that you visit the “download” before you leave the event

Facilities

There are not normally toilets.
