Gotts Park Night Orienteering
This regional night orienteering event takes place at Gotts Park Golf Club in Leeds on 02/01/2027. The terrain is undulating golf course with woodland, adjoining park and playing fields. The map was updated in 2026 at 1:5,000 scale with 5 m contours.
Courses (subject to final controlling):
- Long: 5.8 km, 180 m climb, two-sided map
- Medium: 4.1 km, 120 m climb, two-sided map
- Short: 2.4 km, 50 m climb
- Very Short: 1.5 km, 45 m climb
The start and finish are close to the clubhouse and car park. All golf greens are marked Out of Bounds on the map; running through bunkers is not permitted. One road gives access to the car park; parts of the area are adjacent to a deep water canal, so extra care is required near vehicles and water. Controls will be collected immediately after courses close.
Facilities and entry: the clubhouse provides registration and download on the ground floor and a bar on the first floor offering drinks and soup and roll. Pre-entry is via Fabian4 (pre-entry closes 30 December); limited entry on the day is possible while map stock lasts. Entry fees and SI card hire are published; hired SI cards are collected at download.
Safety and rules: full arm and leg cover is required. Shoes with good grip are essential. A spare torch and whistle are strongly advised. Controls are SIAC enabled; competitors must dib at the Start and Finish and ensure their SI card registers at each control. Participants take part at their own risk; non-members of British Orienteering are not covered by British Orienteering liability insurance.
Parking and location: parking and the event centre are at Gotts Park Golf Club, off Armley Ridge Road, LS12 2QX. Public transport routes pass nearby. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
