As we head towards winter, we look forward to 3 rapid-fire SWOC events in the space of just 2 weeks. Be sure to add these to your diaries! As always, full details including entries can be found on the Events page.
Rhiwbina MapRun - Wed 25th Nov
Grab your headtorch for an evening blast around the streets and paths of Rhiwbina in northern Cardiff. There will be 30 controls to choose from within a 1 hour time limit… Can you find the optimal route to maximise your score?
Park Wood, Dinas Powys - Sat 28th Nov
We’re back to traditional forest orienteering in the attractive area of Park Wood (just a short 500m walk from the village of Dinas Powys, easily accessible from Cardiff and surrounding areas). The terrain consists of a mix of deciduous woodland and open areas with a good path network throughout - although you can be sure the longer courses will take you well off those paths to give your navigational skills a proper workout in the forest! The following courses will be available: Blue (difficult) – 5.1km – 230m climb Green (difficult) – 4.0km – 180m climb Light Green (intermediate/difficult) – 2.9km – 130m climb Orange (easy) – 2.5km – 70m climb Yellow (easy) – 1.8km – 30m climb
Taffs Well MapRun - Wed 9th Dec
Note: Change to previously advertised date! We’re back out in the dark for another evening MapRun event, this time based around the area of Taffs Well. Expect a real mix of terrain, from the pavements of the village to woodland paths on the valley sides. One thing’s fairly certain… there will be hills!
