First in a series of low key local Wednesday evening events, in and around Tyneside, with a league to encourage participation and competition. Courses suitable for beginners and the more experienced wanting some training competition.
Meeting point: Brandling Park NE2 4RR ///eggs.wins.puns
Travel: Parking: Lambton Road E. End (P & D until 18:30) Beware Resident Permit bays.
Metro: Jesmond 500 m.
Buses into town via Great North Road have a stop for Brandling Park just after the motorway peels off. Underpass direct into the park.Courses:
Yellow (1.5 – 2.0 km.) ~ Orange (2.0 – 3.0 km.) ~ Long Orange (3.5 – 5.0 km.).
Courses have been designed so there are no road crossing/street running and are mainly entirely in the park. Courses involve using an underpass. Orange and Long Orange will have a few controls just outside of the southern entrance to the park so two underpasses are used. Also courses could go close to the lake- no swimming even if hot!!! Take care near it. Courses maybe slightly shorter than usual but will be (hopefully) a fun way to start a Summer of Wednesday Night Orienteering.
Maps ands Controls
Sites will be marked with a miniature O sign and orange tape secured with a clothes peg. Markers will have a code letter in permanent marker to be written on the control card. Carry a pen.
