2009-2010 DEVON & CORNWALL NIGHT LEAGUE

THE DARK SIDE OF ORIENTEERING 

 
     
 

Here we go again…..plug in your torches and get eating those carrots ready for the 18th running of the South West’s premier Night Orienteering League. For those who don’t know, we organise 6 events on Saturday nights through the winter, open to all.  Each event offers Orange, Jade (short Green) and Green courses and you can enter on your own or with friends and family.  Start times are from 6:00pm to 7:00pm only, sometimes extended earlier if it’s already dark but please don’t be late as we aim to be finished and in a local pub from 8pm!

These are low key, informal events, with as much emphasis on the social side as the competition and we’re really keen to see some new people trying it out.  All you need is a decent torch – fitness and speed are less important than in day orienteering (most of us would be quicker if we walked round anyway!).  For those who are more competitive there is a trophy for the league winner on each course at the end of the season.

Entry fees are £5.00 for Seniors and Groups, £1.50 (£2 at KERNO events) for Juniors. SportIdent dibbers are available to hire if required. (Fees may be subject to a levy if not British Orienteering members ).
