Day 2 - Middle Race (Old Windmill Hill)

This is an IOF World Ranking Event

(See the WRE Bulletin)

 

Location:

Old Windmill Hill is located close to Farnborough with easy access from Junction 4 the M3.

Parking is on grass, adjacent to the arena and all starts are within 250m of the arena. Anyone bringing a coach or large campervan should indicate this on the entries site or contact jkenquiries@britishorienteering.org.uk

Terrain:

A sloping wooded area with some intricate contour detail, many pits and knolls and a path network.

Map:

1:10,000 5m contour detail to ISOM2017, remapped in 2018 by Peel Land Survey using LIDAR data for the first time.

Classes:

A and B classes in each of M/W 10, 12, 14, 16

E, L and S classes in each of M/W 18, 20

E, L, S and V classes in M/W 21

L and S classes in each of M/W 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, and M75

W75, M80, W80, M85, W85, M90, W90

Colour classes - White, Yellow, Orange and Light Green

Start Times:

First starts 10.00, last starts 14.00.

Normally 50% of entries ask for Middle start block. So Early block will be 10.00 to about 11.00 and Late block
about 13.00 to 14.00

Definitions:

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.
