Latest Details 16/10/06Ogden. A delightful woodland with good path network for junior courses, but nevertheless challenging and intricate for the experts. Longer courses will venture onto the moorland around the wind turbines.
Map; 1:10000, Latest 2006 OCAD map. Premarked and bagged for all competitors.
Planners notes; Shooting butts are not marked on the map. Bracken is not marked on the map but is dying back now and does not present much of a hindrance to progress.
Car Park and Assembly Area. Due to large numbers of visitors to Ogden Water at the weekends, we are again making alternative parking arrangements. All parking on the day, Registration, Download, Results, Shops, and Toilets will be in a level field at Holly House Farm, Upper Brockholes, next to Mount Zion Chapel. This is the same place we used in 2005. OS.Outdoor Leisure 21. GR 068 296. The car park will be signposted from the main Halifax/Keighley road, A629, approx 7km from Halifax at GR 070 297. Car parking in the public car park at Rock Hollow is not allowed to Orienteers. Competitors can use a minibus to get to the start and back from the finish, but most competitors will have a pleasant 10min jog or 20/25min walk along footpaths . There will be a £1 parking fee per car. The Milner Family of Holly House Farm are again donating all money raised to the Caistor Voluntary Lifeboat Service. Food. The 'Green Machine", www.greenmachinefood.com will again provide freshly cooked vegetarian foods and sandwiches. Please support them. The food is wonderful!
Toilets: Portaloos in car park field, public toilets near the start/finish.
Dogs. Well behaved dogs on leads are fine in the car park, and at Ogden Water. But probably not on the String Course because of sheep.
