2022 Spring League 06 - Chandler's Ford

The 6th event in the 2022 Spring/Summer SOC MapRun League.

The event will be available in the app from Friday 3 June 2022. For your run to count in the League, you must submit your results by the end of Thursday 16 June 2022. After that, you can still have a go at the course but it won't count for the League. To find the event in the MapRun app, use the following navigation:

UK > Find Your Way > FYW South Hants > FYW SOC League 2022

MapRun app: Use the new MapRun6 app. Do not use the original MapRun app as it does not understand the score format. When navigating to the event, select UK > Find Your Way > FYW South Hants > FYW SOC League 2022 or use this link on your phone.  See the MapRun website for guidance on configuring your phone.

Map: The map is a 1:7500 OpenOrienteeringMap. There are both ‘stick’ and ‘pseudo’ maps available and the PDFs can be downloaded below. It may be beneficial to take both maps. NOTE: maps updated on 8 June 2022.

Terrain: The course is around the residential areas and primarily on paths. There are some open and wooded areas. Some areas of vegetation have grown since the mapping and there are a couple of unmarked fences.

Safety: There are lots of road crossings. Under 16's should be accompanied by an adult. All fences are not to be climbed whether marked on the map or not – this also includes squeezing through holes in fences!

Social: Thursday 16 June 2022 at the King Rufus, SO53 2DU from 7.30 pm.
