Cleveland Orienteering Klub invites you to an O-CROSS EVENT at COATHAM WOODS on Sunday 6th July 2008 |
|
| What is O-Cross?: | O-Cross is a mass start, multi loop orienteering race. There will be three loops, all in the same area, totalling around 6km of orienteering at Light Green standard. All the competitors run the same loops but in different orders so, although there may be people around you, they may not be on the same loop. The winner is the first competitor to cross the finishing line after correctly completing the three loops. | |||||||||
| Location: |
Coatham Woods are located between the A66 and the A67, off the road from Long
Newton to Urlay Nook / Eaglescliffe, at grid reference
NZ 395155. From the South, the event will be signed from the roundabout on the A67 at the western edge of Eaglescliffe. From the North, the event will be signed from the middle of Long Newton village. | |||||||||
| Terrain: | A newly created mixed woodland on former farmland with a good network of paths and rides. Virtually flat, the area is bisected by a shallow river valley with some contour detail. | |||||||||
