Travel
Public transport: Knaresborough station is 10 minutes walk from the event centre. There are regular direct trains from York and Leeds. There are frequent No.1 buses between Knaresborough and Harrogate which stop on the bridge at the end of the car park.
Parking: Public car park at SE345571, what3words drill.universes.outline. Cost £2.40 for 2 hours, £4 for 4 hours, but best to arrive early as it can get quite busy. There is additional on-street parking within 10 mins walk.

Terrain: an attractive park by the River Nidd with fields and some woodland. There are plenty of paths for the less technical courses and some trickier areas in the woods for more experienced orienteers. A newly updated map by Quentin Harding will enable the planner to use the area to the full!
Courses: After their competitive run children will be allowed (and encouraged!) to do another course for free. Please start early if you might take more than an hour or wish to run twice. Under 16s on Green must be accompanied by an adult.
