The location for the next Winter Orienteering Event organised by the Humberside and Lincolnshire Orienteers (HALO) is on Beverley Westwood on Saturday March 10th. Registration, Start and Finish will be close to Burton Bushes opposite the Racecourse Grandstand.
The Winter Events are aimed at beginners to the sport but always include a technical course for the more able.
There will be four courses as normal: White (junior beginners); Yellow (improving juniors); Orange (adult beginners and experienced juniors) and Technical (experienced Orienteers). Starts will be anytime between 1pm and 3pm.
