Two events in parallel! We present a “Summer Saturday Series” event, suitable for all abilities including beginners, and our annual John Bennison “Long O”.

Summer Saturday Series

We will offer a range of courses suitable for beginners or more experienced orienteers preferring a less arduous course.

John Bennison “Long O”

For experienced and fit orienteers, our annual “Long O” takes place as usual on the Long Mynd, offering a unique challenge of long courses on upland terrain. Note that the nature of the terrain and the length of the courses mean you should only run in this event if you are confident of your fitness and navigational abilities. This event is not suitable for beginners, sorry.

You must also be prepared for whatever the weather brings: this is elevated terrain that can quickly become cold and wet. That said, we have had very warm weather for the last two years’ events, and you need to be sure to carry as much water as you will need.

More details will follow.
