The WAOC summer gallopen is a series of low-key summer evening events, taking place on Wednesday evenings. Starts will usually be from 5:30pm to 6:30pm, but you are advised to check this beforehand. The format of the events will vary from event to event: some may be the usual, "follow a course" format (but with only two or three courses), some may be score events ( where you have to locate as many controls as you can in a limited amount of time ), and others may have devious variations (eg. brown-only maps, with only the contour features marked on them.)

Courses should be suitable for all age groups, except perhaps the very young. If in doubt, it may be prudent to contact the planner/organiser beforehand. As we don't put phone numbers on the web, and not all organisers have email addresses, I'll pass on email enquiries if you are unable to contact the organiser. My email address is dwotton@clara.co.uk

There will be a small entry fee, probably only £1-00 or £2-00

The events comprise a league, with probable prizes for the league winners in each age category.
