Cleveland Orienteering Klub invites you to a Sprint Orienteering Event at LORD STONES COUNTRY PARK on Saturday 29th September 2007 |
|
| First race in the Autumn Sprint Orienteering Series held between September and December 2007. | |||||
| Location: |
Lord Stones Country Park, near Carlton-in-Cleveland. Grid reference
NZ 523032. Please note that the minor road in Carlton-in-Cleveland village is likely to be closed for repair at the time of the event. This would be the normal approach route from the A172 for most people. There will probably be a signed diversion. If there isn't, then we suggest you travel 2km south-west along the A172 (towards the A19), take the minor road south through Faceby, continue on to Carlton and turn south up the normal approach road to Lord Stones. | ||||
| Terrain: | A flat plateau perched 500 feet above the Tees Valley on the edge of the Cleveland Hills, sandwiched between Cringle Moor and Carlton Bank. Fantastic views! The owner of Lordstones Café has created a smashing recreational area – ponds and clumps of trees set in an area of rough grassland with a network of mown paths and larger mown lawns. | ||||
| Courses: |
| ||||
| Map: | 1:4,000 scale. Pre-marked and bagged. | ||||
| Punching system: | This event will use SI electronic punching. SI cards will be available for hire on the day at a cost of 50p each. | ||||
