The first of three Phoenix Park Tuesday evening events is on Tuesday August 6th at the Papal Cross. The events will follow the same format as the recent Dublin parks series - three courses of about 2, 4 and 6 km. Pre-entry for the three events is open until the evening before each event here. There will be entry on the day as well, up to the limit of printed maps.

The events are aimed mainly at introducing orienteering to newcomers.

Start times are 6 to 7 pm. There is a new Dublin Bus service (Route 99) from Heuston Station to the Phoenix Park Visitor Centre every 30 minutes which will bring you close to the start. There are portaloos at the Papal Cross car park.

The following Tuesday, August 13th, the event will be near the Magazine Fort, inside the Islandbridge gate.

The final event, on Tuesday August 20th, will be near the Furry Glen/Knockmaroon gate.

Routegadget for the 6th August event is now open here. Apologies for the computer malfunction which meant that we didn't have the sprint maze working but hopefully it will be there next week.

The next Phoenix Park event, based near the Magazine Fort on Tuesday 13th, will have courses planned by Irish International Clodagh Moran. Start times are 6 to 7 pm. Please pre-enter online if you can, as it reduces queuing for registration and we can get everyone into the results system beforehand. Pre-entry closes at 11 pm on Monday 12th.

The final Phoenix Park event will be at Knockmaroon on August 20th.

Thanks to everyone who supported these three events and who came to any of the Dublin Parks series this summer.

If you would like to put in your routes on Routegadget, this week's courses are now available here. The courses for the first two weeks are also up on the OI website.
