Courses

2 Courses:- Provisional.

Long 3.6k  145m climb 22 controls.

Short 2.4k  90m climb 14 controls.

Shadowing and Juniors. Note that anyone under the age of 14 MUST be accompanied on the course by an adult unless the parent/guardian can convince the organizer of the young orienteer's proven competence at night orienteering. If you shadow a junior on the Short/Long you should declare yourself non-competitive to the organiser if later running one of those courses. 

Terrain

Cluny Hill is a group of four hills with an extensive path network. Courses are planned to reduce the amount of climb and some route choices reduce that still further. The Northern and Western parts have earth banks shown in brown, these are not as obvious as crags would be on the map but are nevertheless steep and should be crossed with caution. All roads bounding the area are Out Of Bounds. 

1:5000m, with 2.5m contours.

Closing date for online entries is midnight Monday 2nd December.
