Gwehelog

North Gloucestershire Orienteering Club (NGOC) welcomes you to our Gwehelog MapRun event.

Details

This course is wholly on country lanes and farm land in undulating countryside between Raglan and Usk. The ground can be very wet in winter - this will affect shoe choice; trainers are probably not grippy enough unless in the middle of a dry summer.

None of the roads have pavements. Please take care and be aware of other road users. The main road (which runs north-south from the start/finish right up to checkpoint 17) may have fast moving traffic - although not forbidden, this route is strongly discouraged! All the farmland is mapped in a yellow colour - please stick to public rights of way (black lines and black dashed lines) and do not trespass.

Mobile phone signal may be poor depending on network, depending on network. We recommend you download the course onto your smart phone BEFORE travelling, and the calling it up from the "Access Local Events (Offline)" button in the "Select Event" directory.

If you do not have phone signal at the finish you will need to upload your run to the server later. Keep the app open and then select "manual upload" when you have network service.

Parking

Parking is on the lane to the NW of Gwehelog Village Hall. Please note this is only large enough for around 5 cars parked angle-on - if a group of you are meeting up to run please park in Usk (pay and display) or Raglan (free) car parks and share cars to the start.
