Thanks for a lovely run on the Curragh, really enjoying the Sunday CNOC summer events. Maybe you know already but the medium course is on the Long on Route Gadget.

Thanks everyone for coming out today. It's rare to be at an event in Kildare where the main talking point is how hot it was on the course!

There was an issue with the timing on control 217 (number 8 on medium and 6 on the long). The time on the SI box itself was incorrect; it didn't affect the control being registered, or the overall result, but it affects the split time to that control (and after). We've removed that control from the uploaded results.

The brown dots are symbol 113 - broken ground from ISOM 2017-2.

The next event in the CNOC summer series will be in Emo Court on 7th June.

Control 5 on the Long that is.

Was there an issue with a control box? The results seem to have a number of inconsistencies.

Also there are four brown dots at control 5. What feature are they representing?

The controls are out and the forecast is good! We've had a high number of pre-entries, which is great. As a result, we have no spare maps for the long course for entry-on-the-day, and a very limited number of spare maps for the medium (only 4 spare maps). If you haven't pre-entered on these two courses, you will have to wait for a later start time and see if recycled maps become available. Unfortunately, we can't guarantee a map if you haven't pre-entered, but we'll do our best. There are plenty of maps available for the adventure course.

See you tomorrow 🙂

CNOC Summer Series on the Curragh, May 24th

The third event in the CNOC summer series will take place next Sunday, May 24th, on the beautiful grasslands of the Curragh. Start times are available from 11am to 1pm. Courses close at 3pm.

Parking and assembly are at the Defence Forces Sports Pavilion: Grid Reference N 79040 11687; Google maps: https://www.google.ie/maps/@53.150714,-6.8188034,17z

It is approximately 1 km from the assembly to the start for all courses and 500m from the finish back to the assembly. The route to the start will be marked. You will pass the finish on the route to the start. As the route to the start and finish crosses a stile, the courses are not suitable for buggies.

As with all recent events, we prefer pre-entry via the online entry system where possible. There will be entry on the day (but limited by the number of spare maps we print). Larger groups should contact us at cnoc@orienteering.ie beforehand (to pre-enter, and to ensure sufficient maps are available.)

More information and pre-entry is available at the event webpage on: https://www.orienteering.ie/fixtures/tbc-18/

Hope to see you there!
