Entries are open online HERE for the 3ROC Leinster League event on Sunday 15th September at the Pine Forest, Rockbrook, Co. Dublin. Early-bird online entries close on Thursday evening but there will be some entry on the day available.
Parking will be in the Tibradden car park and on some forest roads at the end of the car park, but it is a busy recreation area and parking is limited so if you can , try car-sharing. There is effectively no public transport to the forest.
See location map here. The shorter courses will only use Tibradden Wood, the longer courses will also use Cruagh Wood. Be careful crossing the road between the two forests.
Thanks to Zipit for permission to use their toilets and to Coillte for permitting the event.
There will be a free raffle for everyone who has entered online for a €50 ZIPIT voucher to use the high-wire course in the forest. See here.
Course lengths will be posted here in the coming days but all the usual Leinster League courses will be available, from the easiest (Yellow) through Orange, Red, Light Green (moderate), Green, Blue and Brown (the most difficult - for experienced orienteers). There may also be a Short Green course (technically difficult, but shorter than Green) which is not part of the League series.
Start times 11 am to 1 pm.
Maps will be pre-marked and printed on waterproof Rite in the Rain paper. Control descriptions will be on the maps and loose descriptions will be available. There will be a single start but two finishes, so make sure you go to the right finish: one for the shorter courses in Tibradden and one for the longer courses in Cruagh wood. Controls will be SIAC enabled (contactless punching if you have a SIAC card).
