Details
For once the weather was kind to us at Whirlow after the last couple of years of rain and snow. It was a great turnout and hopefully you weren't kept waiting too long to register whilst waiting for hire cards to come back in from the forest, we have a few ideas to improve thngs at the Botanical Gardens. Huge thank you to all of our helpers and congrtulations to Claudine Hodgson who planned all the courses today, it was her first time planning and I think she did an excellent job. Thanks of course must go to all the staff at Whirlow Brook Hall for letting us use such a plush location for registration etc. I hope you all bought lots of cakes!
Results from the event are available on the 'Results' link above along with split times so you can see how you did on each leg. Schools results are available on the 'Other' link and the team results are below with the overall schools results followed by the year results. We'll update the league positions in a couple of days.
See you all either at Ramsley Moor next Sunday or the Botanical Gardens in Feb.

Information
Our 4th Saturday Series event aimed at introducing adult and junior newcomers to orienteering. There is also a green and blue course which will provide a good technical challenge to experienced orienteers. The event also incorporates the SFSS schools' league for primary and secondary pupils.
Limb Valley and Whirlow Brook Hall provide a stunning location for orienteering. The terrain is highly varied, ranging from the steep wooded valley and plantation to the formal gardens around the hall and intricate quarry area.
Registration will be located inside Whirlowbrook Hall map (It's the plushest you will have ever been to - oak panelling and a roaring fire! - please no dob spikes on their oak flooring!) and will open at 12.30pm. You can start any time from 12.30pm – 3pm but the courses close at 3:30pm so those on longer courses should start earlier. Start and finish are adjacent to the Hall.
The catering team at Whirlowbrook Hall will be opening from 12.30pm to 3.30pm especially for our event serving hot drinks, soup and a wide range of cakes. Please do support them as they have kindly provided the facilities free of charge.
Travel and parking
Postcode: S11 9QD. There are two car parks within the grounds please drive slowly within the park, there is also parking available on the crescent outside the park gates. If these fill up then there is good parking on Whirlowdale Road (about 100m back from the crescent towards the city centre on the right along Ecclesall Road South).
NB Please do not park on the private road (Whinfell Court) that has a junction onto the crescent outside the park gates.
Buses seem to be pretty regular with a variety of routes (20 minutes from the city centre with a 5 minute walk through the park to the hall) Plan your journey

Entries
All courses are entry on the day. You just have to turn up, pick a course and fill in an entry form. There will be people on hand to help you if you have any questions.
If you ran one of the previous schools events in the series then you should have completed an entry form an been given a number. With the number we are able to add you into the results system much quicker. You can download an entry form with your details on from the registration page using the registration number and email address.
For those who would like to do a second run you will need to complete another entry slip with the same details as before. You are welcome to fill this out in advance and bring it with you when you download (with the £1 entry fee for the second course) and we can give you a map to save queuing again.
Courses
If you complete a course and there is still time you are welcome to try another.
See below for details on the courses on offer.
| Course | School Years | Distance | Technical Level | Who is it for? |
| White |
Y4,5 |
1.2km 40m climb |
1 |
The easiest course and a great place for children to start. The course is entirely on paths and each time you have to make a decision - which path to take, there will be a control point. |
| Yellow | Y6,7 | 1.8km 70m climb |
2 |
The next step up and a good place for teenagers etc. to start. The course will use paths but also other line features - Fences, streams etc. |
| Orange | Y8, Y9 | 2.5km, 110m climb | 3 |
Harder still, the Orange course introduces choosing routes - e.g. should I go round the paths to the left or right, using 'Point Features' as control site and basic use of a compass. It is a good place for adult beginners to start. |
| Light Green | Y10+ | 3.5km 170m climb |
4 |
Ideal for improvers The navigation difficulty increases and you start to use simple contours and point features.
|
| Green | 3.8km 150m climb |
5 |
As techincally difficult as the area allows but avoids the most physically difficult terrain. |
|
| Blue | 6.1km 240m climb |
5 |
As technically and physically hard as the area allows. |
Safety & risk
A comprehensive risk assessment will have been carried out by the organiser, but participants take part at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety during the event.

Venue
Limb Valley includes Whirlowbrook Park, Whinfell Quarry Garden and the woods either side of Whirlow Brook.
The woodland is mixed conifer and deciduous. Much of it is very runnable though partly steep valley sides, but there are patches of bramble and holly.
