Event Details

Date: 7th January 2024 10:00 am – 2:30 pm
Event area (map): Wareham Forest
Categories: Event, Organised by Wessex OC, Results

Venue
Event centre is on the Forestry England site at Coldharbour

Parking
Car parking is at the Forestry England regional office car park, not the public Sika Trail car park.

Terrain
The event will be solely using the southern area of Wareham Forest, which is almost all wooded. The area has been recently thinned, which makes runnability good, and the bracken has now died back. The landscape has good topography with many re entrants so there will be some climb on the longer courses. The two main blocks of woodland are separated by a central valley mire (Morden bog) which is uncrossable. The courses will have several areas of OOB as we are not allowed to cross any mires nor areas of open heathland. This will add to the routechoice on most courses.

Maps
Overprinted with courses at 1:10,000

Timing
Sport Ident using SIAC enabled controls
Registration open from 10:15 for hire card collection (SI Card5 only) and any last minute changes to entry details.

Start Times
Starts from 10:30 to 12:30.

Facilities
Portaloos at the event centre.

Event Officials
Planner: Lyra Medlock
Controller: Kevin Pickering
Organiser: Rob Hick
