Blidworth Woods
Nottinghamshire Orienteering Club (NOC) welcomes you to our Blidworth Woods MapRun event. There are 2 courses available.
Details
A lovely 5k walk, jog or sprint through the forest. Nice surface underfoot. Escape to the wood and listen to the birds following this Blue trail route. Do both loops for a 10k.
Parking
Park at South or North car parks.
Course: Blidworth Blue Anti Clockwise
4.3 km line
This is a Line course which means you need to get all 16 controls in order. The fastest time wins.
As the crow flies, the distance is 4.3 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 17 so don't forget to visit it.
