SUMMARY:Come and try orienteering at Horton Country Park
DESCRIPTION:Come and try out orienteering at Horton Country Park for free!\nSuitable for newcomers and families. No experience necessary! You can walk or run. \nWe will have free maps of the permanent orienteering course available\, with four courses to choose from. \nCome find us near the BBQ field which is adjacent to the car park (what3words: ///bunks.equal.fries). Google maps link for the car park entrance from Horton Lane\, Epsom: https://maps.app.goo.gl/EbMck8F7h6b6URUu6 \nWhat to bring\nIf you have a compass\, that will be handy\, else we can lend you one. If you bring a smartphone you can also follow the course on a phone\, though we will provide printed maps. Some routes may take you through long grass\, for which some people prefer leg cover. \nWhat courses are at Horton?\nAs well as the start post\, there are 24 controls around the Park. We have suggested four courses that use a selection of the controls to make courses varying in length and difficulty: \n\na beginner’s course\,\nshort and long intermediate courses\,\nand a longer expert course.\n\nThe controls are shown on the map with numbered purple circles. To do the course\, visit the controls in the order shown on the map. You do not need to follow the purple line; you choose a route that suits you. \nOn the ground there are wooden posts with red and white markings. The posts have unique numbers and letters\, as shown for control 23 in the photo below. At each control you can check that it is the one you are seeking by looking for the number on the post. \n  \n \n  \nThe courses are also on an app\nThe courses are also available on the MapRun app. To find the courses in the app\, either (if you’re in the Park) select “Events Near Me” or choose “Select Event” and navigate through the folders: UK –> Mole Valley –> Permanent Orienteering Courses –> Horton Country Park
