E = Elite

L = Long; S = Short; V = Very Short - same technical difficulty but different length courses

A and B (for junior courses) are similar to L and S, but the B course will be both shorter and less technical than A.

Colour classes

White course - around 1½km very easy

Yellow - around 2½km easy

Orange - around 3km moderate difficulty

Light green - around 4km hard

Clothing:

British Orienteering requires that all competitors wear clothing that fully covers the torso and legs. There may also be a requirement to carry a hooded waterproof top. If required, there will be notices.

TrailO:

Due to a Netflix film set, PreO has had to be moved to a new location, a short (4km, max 15 mins) drive or a long 2km walk from Assembly.

Dogs:

Dogs are permitted in the Assembly/Car Park field but not on the courses. We ask that if you bring your dog that you keep it on a lead in the Assembly area and clear up after them.
