Woodley East

Berkshire Orienteering (BKO) welcomes you to our Woodley East MapRun event.

Details

Start: Streetlight at the end of Nimrod Close (What3words ///tunnel.closet.robots)
All controls are lampposts.

Apart from the fields, the only parts that aren’t tarmac are the paths in the woods at the North of the map. There is no significant undergrowth so shorts are fine.

Note that there is an industrial estate that is out of bounds, and this is only marked on the PDF map.

The area is well-lit (apart from the woods), so a headtorch is not essential for running in the dark, though it is recommended.

Parking

Car – free parking at Woodley Piazza (entrance off Hurricane Way at What3Words ///inspector.inform.adjust). Please don’t park at the doctor’s surgery or any of the private car parks.

Bus – Reading Buses 13, 14, 19a and 19c stop at Woodley Piazza.

Course: BKO Woodley East

60 minute score

This is a Score course which means you should get as many controls as you can within 60 minutes.

There are 30 controls in total. You do not need to get them all and you can visit them in any order.

Controls score different numbers of points:
  • Controls numbered 10 to 19 score 10 points
  • Controls numbered 20 to 29 score 20 points
  • Controls numbered 30 to 39 score 30 points
For each minute or part-minute you are late back, you will lose 20 points. The highest number of points wins. The time you take is used as tie-break.
