Sun 21 WEST CORK SECRET, Kilbrittain
Christmas social event &
Cork County League (Planner Stephen)
Park in the car parks of West Cork Secret Adventure Centre.
As it is near Christmas we have a fun event to celebrate this time of year. As you go up a course level at this event you will get less of a map. At the top level you will have no map at all!
Everyone will do the Orange Course and this will be on a full map. If you only
want to do the orange course, you finish on that map. However if you want
to continue you pick up a red map next ! (the clock will still be
running). The red map is only a partial map (Christmas themed of course) and the controls
are that little bit harder to find. If you want to stop at the red course, you
finish on that map at the end of your run. However if you want to continue you
pick up a Green Map next (the clock will still be running). This time you get even less of a map (Those of you who have done some corridor
training will be familiar with the format) If you want to only do the Green
Course, you finish on that map. However if you want a challenge try the final
Blue Course where you don't even get a map (and still the clock will be
running). The blue course is a memory map event. At the start you study the map
and run to the first control. There you will find the map for the next
control. You can not take the map but have to memorise your route, and so
you progress through the course right to the end.
Help will available on the day
Coffee, Tea, Biscuits and sweets will be provided after your run but why not bring along a picnic. The fire will be blazing and the indoor area is a great socialising space!
