Get lost. Find yourself.
Join us for a levelling up on Hazlehead park from the previous week. It’ll still be fun, maybe more fun.
No equipment or experience required. If you have a compass – bring it along, we can help remind you how to use it if it’s been a while.
Come participate by yourself or as a group.
Decide on the night which course you want to do – the short course will still feel like an adventure although it will all be along paths. The technical courses will be available for anyone who wants a challenge.
Parking/registration: from A96 heading north, turn left onto B979 and it’s the second carpark on the left
w3w: branch.sparkles.configure
If this carpark is full then backtrack to the first carpark you passed and follow the path west from there to get to ‘our’ carpark. Don’t use the road as it’s a commuter rat run.
Registration: 18:00 – 19:00
Starts: 18:00 – 19:00
Courses close: 20:00 (i.e. you must be back at Registration by then as we will start collecting controls and need to know everyone’s safely back)
Courses:
Short ~2km easy, all on paths, white/yellow standard, lots of controls to lead you round
Short Technical ~3km off paths, route choices, navigation, some elevation gain
Long Technical ~4km off paths, route choices, navigation, elevation gain

We’ve noticed an increase in folk riding electric bikes and scooters around some woods so watch out for ninja-riders appearing suddenly without any noise or warning.
