Club Night – Monday 4th July – White Horse Woods
Club Night 7 pm Monday 4th July. We’ll be at the White Horse yet again so that we can get in a bit of practice contour reading and hill climbing on a different area from the last two weeks and a DIFFERENT CAR PARK. We’ll meet at 7pm again to give folk a bit of extra travel time and meet in the same car park: the car park below the White Horse itself, Low Town Bank
Walk, jog and run through Urban, Forest and Moorland areas. Find your way between waypoints with your map and compass. Compete against yourself as well as other Orienteers in this physical and mental challenge.
What is Orienteering?
A competitive outdoor sport which exercises both body and mind in a Covid-safe environment. You run your course as an individual, rarely seeing other competitors. Electronic recording of your time allows you to be ranked versus other runners, in the computerised results.
COVID-19
COVID-19 Current UK Government guidelines categorise Orienteering as ‘outdoor physical activity events’ which are not limited by the ‘rule of six’. We have met the necessary protocols and put measures in place at our events to reduce the risks from COVID-19 in our sport.
Who are we?
We’re the orienteering club covering York, Selby, Ryedale and Scarborough. The Club organises events in a wide range of areas, from moorland and forest in the North York Moors, to woodland in the Vale of York and also races in the parks and streets of York, Tadcaster and Scarborough.
