Event Information

MTB-Orienteering practice session, based on last year's "Baring Breeze". There are two courses about 5 and 10km from which we will concoct variations on the day to suit those who did/didn't come last time. Plus a tiny foot-o course round the lighthouse cottages which is new. You can check out last year's event here.

Run to DIY principles - no markers out, print your own maps (links below) and no entry fee. The courses would also suit those on foot. The weather forecast is "partly cloudy, 23deg, northerlies dying out". Highly promising for what can be a breezy location.

If desired last year's controls are on the MapRunF cellphone app, Its set up as a score event called "Baring Breeze Main" so you'll get beeps no matter which course you ride or what order you take the controls. Not strictly kosher but gives maximum flexibility. We suggest downloading this to your phone before you come, as cellphone coverage out there is dodgy. But you don't need coverage to actually record your ride. Note that we aren't timing and wont check you out and in so if you arrive after 10:30 just do your own thing. As with any training excursion, make sure someone knows where you are going and when you expect to get back.

Map files: the short course, and the longer course. The micro-map of the lighthouse is new and I dont want to publish it for all and sundry, so I'll bring limited copies on the day.
