Course: Popley Score

60 minute score

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

There are 25 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 25 score 20 points
For each minute or part-minute you are late back, you will lose 30 points. The highest number of points wins. The time you take is used as tie-break.

Course: Popley Urban Long

5.3 km line

This is a Line course which means you need to get all 18 controls in order. The fastest time wins.

As the crow flies, the distance is 5.3 km. It is likely you will travel quite a bit further; in an urban environment, the quickest route may be as much as 50% longer.

This is a Start Anywhere course which means you do not need to start/finish at the triangle. You can pick the most convenient control and start there. Remember you need to return to the same control that you started at in order to finish. The start/finish control on the map becomes a valid, scoring control with number 19 so don't forget to visit it.
