Spring-O 2017
CLARO will run a Spring-O Series in 2017, a series of local orienteering events, between April and July. The events will take place on Wednesday evenings using proper orienteering maps, finishing with a Club Picnic event on the usual Saturday. They will use SI electronic timing for Start and Finish.
These events will usually comprise three courses: a “Long” course (Green standard), a shorter, “Short” course (Orange standard) and a “Beginner” course (White standard) that is suitable for juniors. The two longer courses may occasionally use more novel formats for variety, but there will always be a White standard course provided.

Next Event
Wednesday 28 June 2017
VENUE – Killinghall Moor Community Park, Jennyfields, Harrogate
Park in the big car park by the pavillion / community centre. It’s at SE 283561. Follow Jenny Field Drive for 1 mile, turn onto Saltergate Drive, left at the top onto Barberry Close and up to the car park. Park at the far end and registration, start and finish will all be just there on the grass.
There will be Green, Orange and “White-ish Yellow” courses. The beginner’s course will not be perfectly planned to White standards however it’s currently looking like a short, easy Yellow.
Full leg cover recommended although I promise to avoid any necessity for you to go through the worst nettles.
COURSES
- Beginners
- Short
- Long
TIMING – SportIdent electronic timing will be used for the start and finish. Most controls will not have a timing box, so on a trust basis, but there could be SportIdent boxes on one or more controls which must be punched if present to avoid disqualification, so check every control. Hire dibbers will be available.
