Bar Hill
West Anglian Orienteering Club (WAOC) welcomes you to our Bar Hill MapRun event. There are 5 courses available.
Details
N.B. The Long and Short 2023 and 2025 courses are Start Anywhere. This means you can start at any control you want and follow all the legs round in order. If you start anywhere else except for the marked start, the Start/Finish location will become just another control. You will finish at the control you started at.
The score course is all within the ring road. Controls 1-10 can be reached without crossing roads so suitable for juniors (a number of other controls can too, but it may not be optimal route, e.g. 12, 17, 18, 22, 24, 26, 27, 28, 30). Please avoid running on the path past the start unless you want to finish early.
