This year the Copeland Chase is heading east to use a new map which has been created from two existing ones - High Brow and Watermillock Common near Dockray at the far north end of the Eastern Lakes Fells.
The format will be the same as the last three years with 20k, 15k and 10k courses available at a cost of £8 (£2 reduction on presentation of a BOF membership card).
Starts will be from 0900-1100 with parking and registration at NY380219, there will be a walk to the start for all courses.
As usual welcome refreshments will be available after your run.
Preentries are preferred (via 01946 67941 or e-mail to copechase2009 at (replace with @) googlemail.com) as there will be limited EOD.
Looking forward to seeing you all again this year!
The Copeland Chase
The Copeland Chase is a 'long' orienteering event (Long-O) held in West Cumbria every autumn. The event follows a traditional format of short (~10k), medium (~15k) and long (~20k) cross-country courses, each having a number of 'controls' which are to be visited in the specified order. Therefore some navigational skills are required. The controls are generally easier to find than in traditional orienteering events, but a bit less obvious than in normal fell races (i.e they are not all on the tops of hills). Control sites are similar to those used in a typical mountain marathon event, and we aim to supply quality, pre-marked and bagged orienteering maps on a 1:20,000 scale or better. We use SPORTident electronic punching.
In 2007, the event was resurrected by members of the West Cumberland Orienteering Club (WCOC) after an absence of 7 years.
