Online entries are now open for our next local event at Hailes Quarry Park on Saturday 14th December. It is full of family-friendly festive fun with course for everyone.

The Festive element revolves around jokes (the kind you find in crackers) – at every control on the white and yellow courses there will be a festive joke. If you can remember the jokes you will get bonus points.

1 joke - 1 bonus point, 2 - 3 jokes - 2 bonus points and 3 -5 jokes 3 bonus points.

The Long Orange can be run as Map Memory - at each control there will be the piece of map showing your next leg with details of the control and description. You can take a map in your back pocket just in case or collect a copy, once you’ve finished, as a souvenir.

There will be a special prize for the best original festive joke. We will have pens for you to write them up at the event.
