We will provide a choice of courses at various Technical Difficulties (TD) levels…
◪ TD1: White colour-coded courses & M/W10B
Technically easy with most controls on paths. Where paths don’t exist, a taped route may be necessary. Mainly used by 6-10-year-olds and family groups.
◪ TD2: Yellow colour-coded courses, M/W10A & M/W12B
Uses linear features like paths, walls, and streams. Mainly used by under 12s and family groups.
◪ TD3: Orange colour-coded courses, M/W12A & M/W14B
Involves basic use of the compass and route choice. Ideal for competent youngsters or novice adults.
◪ TD4: Light Green colour-coded courses, M/W14A & M/W16B
Uses simple contour and point features. Ideal for improvers as the navigational difficulty begins to increase.
◪ TD5: Green colour-coded courses & all other age-based courses
Very hard navigational difficulty. Green colour-coded courses are mostly used by experienced under 18s and adults wanting a short but challenging course. Age-based classes are either short (S), Long (L) or Elite (E) within each age group.
Estimated Course Lengths
