MV/GO Training Event: The Nower, Dorking

This is one of our approximately monthly series of friendly, informal training events aimed at newcomers and existing orienteers who wish to improve their skills. These sessions are run jointly by Mole-Valley and Guildford Orienteering Clubs and are free to members of these clubs. A £4 fee applies for non-members.

We will be providing 3 activities:

1. Two courses for newcomers to try orienteering and there will be volunteers to help learn how to use an orienteering map to navigate around a course.
2. For improvers, the theme this time will be contours – what they will actually look like on the ground and how to use them to inform good route selection and keep track of where you are. There will hopefully be an opportunity to play with some playdough!!
3. In addition, and for the first time, we are offering a simple score course aimed at the more experienced and those who are looking to stretch their legs.

Please make sure that you come wearing shoes suitable for running off-road, full leg cover (NOT SHORTS!) and a compass and ‘dibber’ if you have them – they will be available to borrow if required.

Bring your own lunch and plenty to drink.
