Thanks to Kingdom of Fife Orienteers and ESOC for kindly allowing the use of their maps for this event. Thanks the the Falkland Estate for allowing us access to their land. Included in the UK Elite Orienteering League and the Scottish Orienteering League. Parking - Falkland Estate - signed from the Pillars of Hercules on the A912 here. Toilets - Portable toilets in the parking field. Assembly/start/finish - Registration will be in the parking field. There will be 2 starts so that courses can take advantage of the best areas of the terrain. The far start (most courses) will be a flattish 3km walk from assembly. The near start (White and Yellow only) will be approximately 1km flattish walk from the assembly on route to the long start. The finish will be approximately 700m from the assembly. We are planning to offer a minibus service to the Far Start for those in greatest need. Clothing - Full body cover required. Map - 1:10,000, newly extended and updated by Chris Smithard Spring 2019.

It was first mapped by KFO in 2016, and they have very kindly allowed us to use it for this event. We have also extended the map to the south and west, and incorporated part of ESOC's West Lomond map in order to create a large diverse area! There will be a long (flattish) walk to the start for some classes, but hopefully this will be vindicated by the course planning.

This weekend of events is being put on by members and friends of SEDS, ScotJOS and Masterplan Adventure, and proceeds will go towards Junior and Elite activities for Scottish teams and athletes.
We would appreciate any offers to help at the weekend. This could be as little as doing a shift on the start or car parking. Please email info@scottishspring.uk if you are able to help on any of the events, but especially at the SOL.
