Woodhall
Location & Terrain
Competition
'Flat n fast' style courses, EWT ~20 mins. Start/finish adjacent to reg.
Long ~4km
Short ~3km
Easy ~1.5km (suitable for adult newcomers or juniors)
Climb negligible on all courses.
RED course will be merged into the long course due to the straight forward terrain - if you wish to get series points on red enter that course, but you will run the same as the long.
There will be a MASS START option on the LONG at 18:00. The more the merrier, so it would be great if as many people as possible could make it!
Punching starts are still available from 17:30-18:30
As a result of this, the long course will contain loops. Be sure to read your map carefully to run to the correct next control, several controls will be visited multiple times.
Note for those without SIAC dibbers on the long (or red) course:
The long contains the maximum number of controls your dibber can register. Therefore, please be careful not to punch any extra controls or your dibber will not be able to store all of the correct punches. If in doubt, check your control code before punching.
Don't forget a headtorch!
Important Safety Notes:
- You must come and register before starting your run and you must return to registration to download even if you retire from your course.
- If you travelled to the event alone, you must state this at registration or leave your car keys.
- Please come prepared for bad weather and carry a whistle.
- Torch mandatory!
Online entry for all courses on Racesignup HERE
Entry on the day is available for the Easy and Red courses ONLY.
Dibbers will be available to use on the night.

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.
- Pre-Christmas events are on easier areas or planned to be fairly easy with Long, Short, Red and Easy courses available, so are suitable for those trying night orienteering for the first time.
- Younger and/or inexperienced orienteers should be accompanied.
