Our neighbours to the south, Tayside Orienteers, have been in touch about a couple of events they’re putting on in parks in Dundee that they think would be ideal for newcomers or novices to practice their skills:
Balgay Hill Sat 27th Sept
Camperdown Park Sun 16th Nov
Both areas are well-bounded with a mixture of woodland and open areas with scattered trees. Good for newcomers or novices to advance their skills with map (and compass on Orange and above).
Green course at Balgay will involve some urban in neighbouring streets.
Longer courses (tbc) at Camperdown will combine fast running and a need for accurate navigation to hit the controls economically.
At both events there will be TAY club members on hand to help anyone get started.
Check for details on their website and make a day of it at the V&A or DCA.
