Trial by
orienteering! The classic Warrior O-Trial returns after a break of several
years. In contrast to previous
open fell venues, the setting this year is Graythwaite – England’s most mighty
forest – and we promise a test of both fortitude and forest craft.

covered by the JK embargo.
The relays will be on the other side of the
road.

Very varied

Map:
2012 with a
few updates. Scale 1:10000 (we had hoped to offer 1:15000, but it has proved
impossible to produce a legible map at this scale without very expensive
off-set litho printing. The long course will be printed on both sides of an A4
sheet, with a large overlap so each leg can be seen in its entirety. The score
map will be 1:7500.
Starts:
CROSS
COUNTRY COURSES:
300m from
assembly, 100m climb. Start times 1000-1130 (depending on pre entry.) Start
when you want in this period.
SCORE
COURSE:
Start and
finish at assembly. Starts 1000-1130. Courses close: 1400 (So if you think you
might be out for a long time please start early!)
Safety:
Depending on
the weather, you may be required to carry a whistle and cagoule. This is a
working forest with rough ground and fallen trees. It is important to wear
suitable footwear and to watch your footing. As they are long courses you may
wish to carry some food/hat/gloves.
Final Details:
These will
only be posted on the web site if there are any significant changes. Otherwise
they will be
displayed in
the car park.
Cancellation: If for any reason this event has to be
cancelled information will be posted on the Warrior Web site www.waroc.org.uk
