Further Information
Date - Wednesday 19th February
Time - We will leave the parking area at 18:30 for a short jog to the start. Courses close 20:00. If you're a few minutes late and we've already left for the start, head c500m on a NW bearing and you may catch up!
Venue - King's Park. Parking at NS789927. This is "the usual" parking place off Kings Park Road and near to The Pavilion eatery.
Terrain - Fast undulating runnable golf course with pockets of trees/copses. No road crossings. Courses stick to the nice bits of area. Should be some nice head-to-head fast and gaffled orienteering. More suitable for beginners to night orienteering than other venues in the night series!

Courses: Long - 6.0km, EWT c28 minutes. Short - 4.3km. Beginner (to Night Orienteering) - 2.0km. TD4/3 (ish). Maps will be handed out before the start.
Gaffling on Long and Short courses. I've tried to come up with a unique gaffling approach. No gaffling on Beginner course.
Public Transport - the parking is a 1.5km jog from Stirling station. If you need a lift from a station close by I can put a shout out for you on the FVO carshare Whatapps group.
