The results and Routegadget for the third 3ROC Phoenix Park event are now up here.

Thanks to everyone who came along - the weather, the traffic and the Deftones concert at the Royal Hospital in Kilmainham were a bit against us. If you have a GPS of your route, the planner and the other competitors would be grateful if you could take a couple of minutes to upload it to Routegadget here.

Yes, it does, but you know you were right and we were wrong.

However, the good news for the next event is that the new eco-toilets at the Papal Cross car park are now operating.

I see in routegadget that no.11 on the long course has been moved to nearer to where it actually was which makes it look like that any of us uploading routes made a mess of it.

There was a misplaced control on the long course (#11) so apologies for the inconvenience, hope it didn't take too much from your enjoyment. Routegadget has been updated to reflect this.

Don't forget our final event of this series will be on Tuesday August 25th, starting from inside the Furry Glen/Knockmaroon gate. Please send any enquiries to 3ROC@orienteering.ie

Hi everyone,

The event centre for next Tuesday's Phoenix Park event will be off the second car park on the Military Road, about 400m west from the Magazine Fort or use the Google map link here. If driving, the event is best approached from the Parkgate Street entrance, turning left onto Wellington Road.

For the cheapest entries, register on orienteering.ie by Monday 17th August.

We look forward to seeing you there. Please send any enquiries to 3ROC@orienteering.ie

Phoenix Park August Tuesday events

The first of three Phoenix Park Tuesday evening events is on Tuesday August 11th at the Papal Cross. The events will follow the same format as in recent years - three courses of about 2, 4 and 6 km. Pre-entry for the three events is open until the Sunday 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 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. The new N2 service between Clontarf DART station and Heuston Station travels along Blackhorse Avenue on the north east side of the Park. There are new toilets at the Papal Cross car park but they may not be in service in time.

The following Tuesday, August 18th, the event will be on the Military Road, near the Magazine Fort, inside the Islandbridge gate.

The final event, on Tuesday August 25th, will be inside the Furry Glen/Knockmaroon gate.
