HELP ME CHOOSE A COURSE
Start and Finish are very close together, about 1.1km level walk from the car park.
The long and short courses cross some rough stony ground. In addition the long course crosses a stream - you will probably get wet up to your knees. If the weather has been very wet and it isn't safe to cross the stream the long course will be changed on the night and you will be told about this when you register.
The yellow course is all on paths.
All courses go onto the open fell so please bring waterproof clothing and be prepared for bad weather. Whistles recommended.
Online entries using Racesignup.
Dibbers will be available to use on the night.
Practical Info
Parking and registration in the NT car park at Scale Hill (Lanthwaite Wood NT Car Park).
Note: The local NT benefit from the use of the pay and display and membership cards being scanned so please make sure you either scan your NT card or pay for your parking.

New to Night Orienteering?
You need to bring a decent head torch (and maybe a spare and/or spare battery) and make sure to dress appropriately for the weather.
The first series of events, up to Christmas tend to be on easier areas so are suitable for those trying night orienteering for the first time.
Younger and/or inexperienced orienteers should be accompanied.
