The full details as at Thursday 22nd May 2025, including a summary of changes since the previous version, are here. If any last minute amendments are needed, they will be flagged here.

Start times are now available on the Fabian4 website here.

Day 1 Ludlow (Urban)

The classes/courses being provided are based on the courses suggested by BOF for an Urban event as detailed in the table below.

Entry will be by the class name e.g. Open Men, Veteran Men 40+, Supervet Men 55+, etc.

You can enter any course you like, the table is only a guide for experienced orienteers. A junior can be accompanied by an adult at no extra charge. Course 7 would be a good choice for an accompanied junior newcomer. Courses 5a/5b or 6 would be a good choice for a walker new to navigating. Courses 3a/3b or 4a/4b would be a good choice for a runner new to navigating.

Information for newcomers

If you have little or no experience of orienteering we recommend that you choose one of the following courses (in order of increasing difficulty): White, Yellow, Orange or Light Green. These are at the bottom of the list of options in the drop-down box for the “Long” event on the entry form. For more information about colour-coded courses and what they mean please go to https://www.britishorienteering.org.uk/newcomers_guide

If a junior is entering accompanied by an adult, or a group is entering which will be orienteering together, enter one name and pay one fee. In the “special request” box on the entry form inform us of the names of the other members of the pair/group.
