Powter How
Location & Terrain
Competition
Novice 1.1km. Yellow standard with a few controls just off the path
Short 1.6km. Difficult
Long 2.9km. Difficult
Powter How is steep on the west side and the less steep eastern slow does have some significant bracken, although this may have improved by the time of the event.
The course lengths may seem short but the going will be slow for all but the strongest runners. Shoes with plenty of grip are advisable!

New to Night Orienteering?
You need to bring a decent head torch (and maybe a spare) 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.
