Event information
| What: | South of Scotland Orienteering League | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Where: | Elibank Forest, Walkerburn (NT402361) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| When: | Sunday 21 March 2010 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Getting there: | Signposted from A72 in Walkerburn. Entry to the forest is at the south-eastern end of the map and going via Walkerburn you will drive through the competition area. Please drive carefully as all courses except White and Yellow will cross this road. Driving through Selkirk or Galashiels you can also access via Peel, which is quite scenic, and you won’t drive through the competition area. Both roads are quite narrow with passing places.

| Parking | Parking is on forest roads with a wide verge. Anyone bringing a minibus should contact the Organiser in advance please. It would be helpful if competitors could arrive before 12:30 and not leave until after 12:30 as the forest road is quite narrow in places. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Terrain | The snow has flattened a lot of the undergrowth and it’s generally fast running (when you’re not going steeply uphill). There are several areas of complex contours to keep you on your toes, plus some very pleasant terrain alongside the River Tweed for courses Orange-Brown. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Start time: | Starts from 11:00 to 1:00 (registration opens at 10:30) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Entry fees: | Seniors: £8 (£2 discount for Senior BOF members proof of membership required) Juniors and students: £2:50. Familes/Groups on White or Yellow: £5. |
