MAROC Colour Coded Event - Dess Wood and Deeside Activity Park



One of the organisers commented that I'd travelled a long way for the event! The reason is simple - MAROC have good forests and maps, plan good courses, provide pre-marked maps and use elctronic punching - ingredients for good orienteering! The event also provided a good excuse for not going christmas shopping!

I ran the brown course which was 7.3k with 350m of climb and 19 controls. I had a good run, save for being a bit hesitant into controls 11 and 12; and enjoyed the event. The last part of the course went through an area used for off-roading and quad biking, and reminded me of some of the army training areas in SE England.

Results.
Splits.
