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 events up to Christmas are on easier areas so are suitable for those trying night orienteering for the first time.
- Younger and/or inexperienced orienteers should be accompanied.
