Training events for school students: 6th Aug - 5th Sept 2024

Coaching and practise is offered to all school-aged children at all levels. No booking required, just turn up with your running shoes and a compass if you have one. Bring your own Sportident stick if you have one, otherwise we will lend you one (a Sportident stick is a microchip that you place on your finger to 'punch' each control on the orienteering course).

Each training session will vary, it is run by volunteers and each will have something different to offer. There will be many different things to go over, so it will not have the same format every session. It may involve a walk around looking at features, or a discussion to start, often it will have a set course to run.
