Information

Please note: Due to clash with another event we have had to switch the Meersbrook and Graves Park events over so Graves is now on the 20th May and Meersbrook is on 10th June. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

This is one of our Saturday Series of events aimed at introducing adult and junior newcomers to orienteering. Running alongside the public event is the very popular SFSS schools' league. There are also green and blue courses which take in the intricate contoured area in Cobnar Woods for more experienced orienteers. Non-members are welcome.

Location and parking

We will be based by the playground and cafe building - what3words cling.blame.exit. The nearest car park is at the Rare Breeds Centre off Hemsworth Road - this is Pay & Display.  There are free car parks at Charles Ashmore Road and Cobnar Road   There is plenty of parking on the roads around the park but please park considerately. Buses seem to be pretty regular with a variety of routes 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.

Map & Terrain

1:5000, 5m contours

map extract Graves
 
The area is very varied terrain wise combining the formal gardens surrounding the hall, with the former quarry gardens and the woodland, which is a steep sided valley with some interesting contour detail and a variety of vegetation. 

Facilities

Toilets, adventure playground and animal farmyard. Unfortunately the cafe is still closed but there is often a coffee van be the tennis courts.

Courses

See below for details on the courses on offer. Course lengths are indicative and may well change subject to final planning and controlling. You can choose to run any course you would like but pupils should run the course for their school year to be competitive in the league.

Course School Years Distance Technical Level Who is it for?
White

Y3/4
Y5

1km, 30m

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
Y7

1.7km,
40m

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.
It will also no longer have a control every time you need to decide where you are going. For example you may need to make a couple of turns on paths between controls.

Because of the park setting there will be some controls that do not follow line feature.  Instead they will be on a point feature (e.g. a tree) but close by.  By turning the map so that it matches the ground you will be able to see the next control to go to.

Orange

Y8
Y9

2.5km

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 sites
  • Basic use of a compass

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.

Photography

SYO has an agreed policy on the taking of photographs at events, based on national guidance. This provides a sensible balance between the benefits and risks associated with the taking and use of images. If you are unsure about acceptable practice, please speak to the event organiser. Read our photography policy.

Venue

Graves park is Sheffield’s largest park and arguably provides the widest variety of orienteering terrain.  As well as a good path network and open spaces, there are wooded valleys, steepening at the west, with old mineral workings providing a small area of interesting contour detail.

Non-orienteering attractions include a café and a rare-breeds animal farm.
