Notes

Whether you are a complete novice, a family, or a seasoned veteran, there is a course to suit:
 
The Adventure Course is suitable for families or beginners.
The Medium course is suitable for experienced orienteers and adult beginners and improvers who can cope with some off-track forest running/walking.
The Long course is suitable for adult improvers and experienced people who are good at map reading and compass skills.

Three (3) courses are planned as follows:

    Adventure (2.3 km)
    Medium (4.5 km)
    Long (6.7 km)

The forest is mostly flat, so climb is negligible on all courses.

Entry fees are the usual:

    Adults: €8 / person
    Children: €4 / child
    Student: €5 / student
    Unwaged: €5 / person
    OAP: €5 / person
    Family Discount: €20 (Maximum of 2 Adults and no more than 5 family members / family)

If you're not a member of a club, and would like to join CNOC on the day, we're offering free membership for the first year (see more on cnoc.ie)

As with all recent events, we prefer pre-entry via the online entry system.
There will be limited entry on the day (by the number of spare maps we print).
Groups should pre-enter to ensure maps are available.
If you need to hire an SI card, we also rent them for €2, to be returned at the finish. Lost cards cost €40 to replace!

Donadea specific notes:

The barrier into the forest will be raised from 16:30 to 19:30 to allow free entry to the forest for orienteers.
Composting toilets will be available near the Carpark. Please bring your own hand sanitiser.
There is quite a bit of undergrowth in the forest at this time of year, and we don't advise route choices through areas marked with undergrowth symbol (green vertical lines).
The courses have been planned to avoid the worst undergrowth.
