All are very welcome to our next WENT event on Wednesday 10th February. The venue is Orangefield / Greenville Park in East Belfast. Approach along Houston Park, off the Castlereagh Road.
Usual times, registration is 6.45pm with a mass start at 7.30pm for a 45 minute score event. There will be an (optional) twist to the format (once I decide what it is) so keep your ears open for instructions on the night.
Any questions or if you're planning on bringing a group, just give me a call. Hope to see you all there. Remember the headtorch!

Have you thought of car sharing to events ? Did you know there is a government backed car share website that caters for traveling to one-off events such as ours. Check out the website  . It’s free to register and use – so if you have room in your car or don’t have a vehicle of your own - then why not give it a try. It works on postcodes or towns – so for going to Castlearchdale on the 6th Feb you will need to enter “Lisnarick” to make it work.

A number of the controls for the event have now been set. No peeking!
Some useful information was gleaned on the way round the Estate.
Three of the marshes on the map are now shallow ponds. This should not affect the courses, but participants on the YELLOW course may find that part of a path near the start is under about 2 inches of water. Be prepared to have wet feet. Bring a spare pair of shoes or wear wellie boots.
A local Adventure Sport company had placed controls this afternoon and they might still exist on the ground tomorrow. If there is no SI unit on the control stake, then that control is NOT on an LVO course. We will try to have the extra controls removed before our event starts.
On the second half of the GREEN course, gorse bushes have spread a little. They have been corrected on the map where it might affect route choice, but contours and mature trees will provide more reliable navigation features in that area.
Also for GREEN course competitors, it should be noted that power lines have been removed from the competition map.
Details of courses and start times are available in an earlier post on this page.
