NOTES

Only current British Orienteering members of clubs affiliated to EAOA are eligible to become East Anglian Orienteering Champions. Members from other regions are very welcome to take part in the event but will not be eligible for the Championship trophies.  

For the Championships, male competitors may ONLY run up to the "Men's Open" class. Female Competitors may ONLY run up to the "Women's Open" class. So, for example, a M65 who runs the Blue course rather than Short Blue will not be eligible for the Championships but, if they run the Black they will be eligible for the Open Championship. Apart from the Open classes, all other Championship classes are restricted to one age class only. 

Juniors who are competiting for the Championships must not be accompanied, they are not allowed to be shadowed.

Terrain Description

Area fully remapped in March 2020, with further updates made in August 2021.

A3-sized map, 1:10,000 scale with 2.5m contours using ISOM 2017, based on LiDar and incorporating early 2020 updates which includes significant thinning. Standard IOF symbols used.

Mature forest with mainly deciduous trees and some holly bushes. To the south west there is the open area of Chingford Plain with its thickets as well as a model aircraft area. Further to the east lies Connaught Water, a haven for wildfowl. Over the years, with successive thinning of parts, the area has become more runnable, probably more so than the map indicates although the first parts that were thinned are now regenerating. There are a number of horse rides in the area and a network of small paths many are indistinct especially after leaf-fall while others are well used by mountain bikers. There is no significant climb on the courses. Longer courses do visit the more contoured area to the north of the map.

Courses will be overprinted on waterproof paper.
