A family-friendly event within the grounds of Attingham Park (serious orienteers welcome too!)
This is a “come and try it” event; we will be happy to help you get started.
Venue: Attingham Park, Atcham, near Shrewsbury.
Postcode: SY4 4TP
Travel: Attingham Park is accessed from the B4380, 4 miles south-east of Shrewsbury; follow brown signs to the main gates and on to the one-way access drive through parkland. Please note there may be cattle grazing in the parkland.
Parking: is free but you will need to pay for entry to the Park unless you are a National Trust member.
Once in the park you will find us 100m beyond the stables courtyard (which houses café, toilets etc). The Start and Finish are nearby.
Enter: any time from 10:30am – 3.30pm. The courses will close at 4.00pm (controls will be removed from that time).
Courses: there will be three courses: Short (1.5km), Medium (2.5km) and Long (3.5km)
Fees: £1 per map, which can be shared e.g. by a family group.
Medical information
If you wish any medical information to be available to a practitioner in the event of an emergency, please fill in the British Orienteering medical information form, place it in a sealed envelope with your name on it, and deposit it at Enquiries. It will not be opened unless we have reason to believe you may have suffered a medical emergency and will be shredded after the event if you don’t collect it.
First of all, thank you to everyone who came! We had a great day meeting some old friends and newcomers. We hope to see you all again soon!
