Entries will be accepted from individuals or from teams of two only. Teams must be from the same school. They may be mixed age provided they run the more difficult course.

Competitors do two courses:

AGE COURSE (Age is at 31/12/2015. ie. The age turned this year!)

BOYS GIRLS

B Courses are available for beginners, but NOT available to previous placegetters of these courses.

This is a line course where competitors navigate around the course visiting controls in order.

SCORE COURSE
This is where you find as many controls as you can within a time limit of 45 minutes. Controls can be visited in any order.
There will be a choice of four graded "SCORE" courses with entry open to individuals or teams of two. Select courses based on experience rather than age. The courses are graded:

A: Difficult B: Medium C: Easy D: Easy

Entries: Must be made in advance, by Friday 12th June.
This pre-entry is essential to ensure that there will be sufficient maps available on the day.
Entry fee: $10 per person.
