Next Orienteering Challenge is at The Humber Bridge Country Park

The location for the final Winter Orienteering Event of the season, organised by the Humberside and Lincolnshire Orienteers (HALO) is at The Humber Bridge Country Park on Saturday April 21st with starts from 1pm to 3pm.

Registration, Start and Finish will be at the Southern end of the Country Park, accessed from the Foreshore car park. Individuals and families are welcome.

The Winter Events are aimed at beginners to the sport but always include a technical course for the more able. There will be four courses as normal: White (junior beginners); Yellow (improving juniors); Orange (adult beginners and experienced juniors) and Technical (experienced Orienteers).

Starts will be anytime between 1pm and 3pm. The former quarry area provides a good technical challenge for experienced Orienteers as well as being very suitable for newcomers with a good path network. The shortest course will also be appropriate for push chairs and wheel chairs.
Entry fees are £2 for adults and £1 for juniors.

This includes free hire of the chips which are used for the electronic timing of the event. Harder courses can be attempted for no extra charge after successful completion of the easier courses.

HALO also runs a weekly club night at Beverley Longcroft School and Performing Arts College on Mondays (6:30pm to 8:00pm) during term-time. New members always welcome. (Details available from email and web-site contacts as above).
