Forth Valley Orienteers

BonnyfieldSat 31 May

Local event

Local events are competitive but low key and in the 'localised' area, often on a Wednesday evening or a weekend morning. Try O events are local events tailored to anyone new to the sport, with coaches on hand for advice and tips. Open to all ages, abilities and fitness levels, learn to use a map and compass to navigate round short courses.

Training events are non-competitive and used for training and coaching. These are aimed at members of the club, but non-members and newcomers are also welcome. Social events are non-orienteering activities, with the annual highlight being our Awards Evening and ceilidh!

Regional events attract participants from around the local region, National events are high quality competitions that will attract people from far away, and Major events are large competitions such as a British Championships or the JK.

Map & Terrain

1:7500 map ISOM 2017-2, with 5m contours.  Blue and Green courses have a map flip halfway round.

Bonnyfield is a former sand and gravel quarry, now largely open land with intricate contour detail and some wetlands in places. The area is bordered by the River Bonny (no controls placed close to the water) and there's a fordable stream running through the middle.  There are a number of hawthorn trees in the middle of the map, but courses have been planned to avoid these where possible.
