Notes

The first orienteering event at Bansha, Co Tipperary for nearly 40 years takes place on 26th Feb with start times between 11am and 12.30pm. Bansha wood is located (Google: 52.452185,-8.095940) roughly 3/4 ways along the N24 Cahir to Cahir - Tipperary road and the wood entrance is located 2.5km north west of Bansha village, taking around 1 hour to reach from Cork.

 

The forest is extensive including two steep hills and a complex network of paths. Bansha is a working forest with a mix of deciduous and evergreen plantation where the limited runnable areas are interspersed with green areas allowing for challenging route choices especially on the blue and brown courses.
