2022 Spring League 08 - Townhill & Bitterne Park

There was an issue with one of the original files in the MapRun app which meant that the map did not display. If you downloaded the event before Monday 11th July, please select the event again.

The eighth event in the 2022 Spring/Summer SOC MapRun League.

The event will be available in the app from Friday 1 July 2022. For your run to count in the League, you must submit your results by the end of Thursday 14th July 2022. After that, you can still have a go at the course but it won't count for the League.

Map: The map is a 1:7500 OpenOrienteeringMap. There are both ‘stick’ and ‘pseudo’ maps available and the PDFs can be downloaded below, along with a set of control descriptions. It may be beneficial to take both maps.
Terrain: The course is predominantly paved residential and open areas with some offroad tracks and woodland which may be muddy if the weather has been wet.
Safety: There are a number of roads which will need to be crossed, and whilst not compulsory you are advised to use pedestrian crossings or one of the many crossing islands.  Take particular care on Woodmill Lane and Cobden Avenue which can be busy with traffic - safe crossings have been marked on the map for these roads.  Some routes may take you near water courses and ponds/lakes, take care navigating these areas.  Under 16s should be accompanied by an adult.  All fences are not to be climbed whether marked on the map or not – this also includes squeezing through holes in fences or hedges!

Social: Thursday 14th July 2022 at The Hop Inn, SO18 2PE from 7.30pm (just by control #5!)
