Wewlyn Village Urban Orienteering

Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK

Description

1 hour orienteering urban orienteering course around Welwyn Village, starting at 1st Welwyn Scout Hut (Lockley's Drive AL6 9LU). Designed for scouts who break down into adult montitored groups and complete a course, chasing visible (or not) orienteering markers placed around the village.

Route can be set differently by each course manager. I will add my first example in next few days when I have planned it.
