Resumption of orienteering: Maprun with Claro 

Following the British Orienteering Federation announcement, details can be downloaded here. Claro are proud to announce a series of Summer events. 


The format initially will be similar to our Street-O series: a 45 minute score event – visit as many “controls” as you can, and get back to the start/finish point in 45 minutes. There will be a points penalty for getting back late.
The scoring system is 20 points per control, and 10 points penalty for each minute or part minute late finish.

There are now 6 events ready to run, five in Harrogate and one in Knaresborough, and a further Harrogate event will be added this week.

We now have volunteers for a further Knaresborough and a Ripon event and we are looking for volunteers to keep this going weekly until we can do normal orienteering again or we run out of volunteers. Setting up a course is really easy and you don't need to use Lampposts just something obvious such as a road junction. So it would be great if we could use some of the surrounding villages and towns such as Pateley Bridge, Wetherby or Hampsthwaite.  Full instructions on how to set up a course will be appearing on the website shortly .


To do an event , before you leave home,  download the MaprunF app on your phone, tap the  'Events near me' button on the MapRunF app you should now see six  local events available. If you live out in the sticks, somewhere like  Knaresborough then you can will need to go via the Select Event button to via the UK and NorthYorkshire folders.

Congratulations to Alice Leake for being fastest to clear up on the last 3 events, It would also be nice to see someone other than Quentin leading the male field, So all those young orienteers back from University you know what you need to do. 


The  events on the system ( In addition to Harrogate 1 that has been available for some time ) are .
1. Valley Gardens the map can be downloaded from our MapRun page of the website. This will allow you to get to know MapRun and is all within the park so great for juniors.
2. The Prologue event starting from Stray Rein
3. The Knaresborough event starting from outside the swimming pool
4. Harrogate South West starting from Trinity Church
5. Pannal starting from Crimple Meadows
6 Harrogate Knox starting from Knox Avenue

There are 3 more events planned but we are happy to add more especially one in Ripon.


From 1st July Cold Bath Road area starting from Westcliffe Terrace
From 8th July Knaresborough
From 15th July Ripon
From 22nd July Harrogate ( but open to change for a different option) 

Clearly you need to abide by the rules currently in force when you run which at the time of writing are exercise by yourself,  with members of your current household, or one friend who you must remain socially distant from . Our recommendation would be early morning or early evening when it should be quieter.

Full details are on the website here

Aire have also started a similar series  of 4 events which are already online to download, details of which are here. These are linear events  rather than score events, 


 

Claro SI Team 

I am please to announce that Andrew Kelly has agreed to take on the role of looking after the SI Kit from Allen . Thanks you to Allen for all his work looking after the SI kit for the last few years. 
Coming up    

No normal style events planned at the moment but see the article above about Maprun

 

Also look at the EBOR site and the DVO site for a weekly puzzle. CLOK have a weekly on line quiz and there are many more.  As above there are also some ideas on the Claro site.   

Items for the newsletter 

We have set up an e-mail address news@claro-orienteering.org.uk for you to send items to the newsletter should you want to promote any event, provide results , or  a plug for a report or article you have done for the website. I will do a quick scan for results but would be more than happy to receive them from the competitors.
