BL Eycott Hill Galoppen

Embark on an orienteering adventure at Cumbria Wildlife Trust's Eycott Hill, nestled between Penrith and the Northern Fells. This scenic location offers diverse terrain for all levels of experience, from newcomers to seasoned navigators.
Pre-entry is available across various courses, with some day-of entries subject to map availability (£10 senior, £4 junior). The event features a range of distances suitable for different abilities: Brown (9.2km, 300m), Blue (6.1km, 165m), Green (4.2km, 125m), Short Green (3.4 km, 85m), Very Short Green (2.4 km, 50m), Light Green (3.4km, 70m), Orange (TBC), Yellow (2.2km, 65m), and Score (1-hour time limit).
The very short green course is identical to the short green but with a loop omitted; participants can choose during the race whether to take this cut-off.
Parking is available on roadside verges near Cumbria Wildlife Trust's carpark at NY394301, accessible via postcode CA11 0XD. Start times are flexible between 10:30 and 12:30, with a short descent onto the grassy track for both start and finish.
