Orchard County Orienteers cordially invite you all to our last event of 2024 - an Urban forage around the lovely grounds of St. Luke's Hospital.
This Event is also the last leg of this year’s NI Urban League and consequently I wouldn’t want to disappoint any of you Urban fans. For your delight we will be using a newly extended map ( as if you need any more stress ) and as ever, I’m planning all the fun. What's not to love. Merry Christmas!
Sunday 15th December
Registration: From 2 p.m.
Start Times: 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. Late starters may need a torch.

Courses: As usual, we will have something for everyone: These are the optimal i.e. minimum course distances
Long ( ~ 7 km )
Medium : 4.3 km 33 controls
Short : ~ 2.3 km 24 controls
Please Note: for the Medium and Long courses you will need a dibber capable of holding more than 33 controls. i.e. SI Card 9 and upwards or a SIAC.
SI AIR will not be turned on!
Course Safety & Junior Restrictions:
The Short Course is entirely free of vehicular traffic. There are no road crossings and consequently I deem it perfectly safe for all teens and above to be able to navigate on their own.
For 12’s and under I would still recommend that the juniors are either accompanied or shadowed. Whilst there is no traffic, we are still in an urban environment and safeguarding concerns need to be taken into account as well as H & S.
Please note that for any adult wishing to shadow a junior and then have their own run afterwards, they will be
classed as Non-Comp in the results having entered the competition area prior to competing themselves.
Any under 16’s wishing to complete the Medium or Long Courses will need to be accompanied by an over 16 year old
Toilets: At present there will be no toilets on site. The nearest will be at Home Bargains.
