Colour standards
What colour standard are you?
Colour standards are worked out by completing three courses of the same standard, within either:
- 150% of the winners time
- the time which 50% of finishers complete the course in
Either or these is used to allow as many people as possible to achieve the colour standard
A list of the standards people have achieved is here.

Trust the Compass
Getting ready to enter the woods |
Luke returns successfully |
10 Juniors took part in compass training at Hillsborough Forest Park. This was an extension of the cones exercise from the last session. Like the cones exercise the course was made from a grid of 9 control sites but this time they were in the forest and some 50 - 100m apart. Juniors had loop courses to complete. They had to use the compass to keep the map set and make their way through the forest, without using the paths, to locate the next control site.
Rachel heads in at speed. |

Emerging from the forest - did it all go well? |
