Hey Guys, well done to your team! It was quite hard work, but we were really lucky with the weather, so the orienteering turned into a pretty pleasant hike. This year we beat you, but the challenge is open again for next year ;-)

I had a wicked time. My orienteering partner was fantastic and had a GSOH despite us have to search for one tent for at least an hour. Throughly enjoyed myself. Thanks for organising Kat, and thanks for working with me Liz. :-)

Hi guys, if you haven't been to the preparatory event and haven't got the coordinates, please make sure you check the starting point on the map by clicking at the address of the event. It's on High Beach, very close to the King's Oak.
If you are having any problems, please give me a call. My number is 07832297917 and I will be available from around 10pm. I will be waiting for all of you there and will see everyone off. :)
Last word of advice - it will be really cold, so make sure you have warm and waterproof clothing. Hats and gloves will be really useful. As it is quite a long event, please also bring some food and water. Flask with hot tea/coffe was a life saver last year. :)

What time will we need to get there?

Start is at High Beach

http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newm...
  Start is in one of the rectangles in the middle, just slightly north east of the earthworks and P symbol for car park (these 2 points are marked n the map just across the road from the Kings Oak pub) As far as I know there are no buses (but maybe worth checking). Your best bet is I think to get a Central Line train to Loughton and then walk or get a taxi from there (ask to be dropped at Kings Oak in High Beach)

I will be driving, so would be happy to give a lift to 3 people from Clapham Junction.

Hi guys,

I'm now back from China and ready to answer any questions. :)
And as i will be signing us up on Monday I have some questions to you. :)

So, first of all, we have to decide on how many check points we will be doing and I would suggest - let's go for 5. Last year I tried 10 and found 1.5! The tents were unlit and the clues were very difficult to guess so it was not an easy task. But on the other hand I know that Ning did really well, so maybe he would like to lead a more advanced team that would go for all 10? Unless I hear otherwise I will sign us all up for 5 points.

Another thing is your breakfast - I will need to let them know how many vegetarians are there, so if you would like a veggie option, please comment below by Sunday night. I will be ordering the meat options by default.

Thank you!
Kat

Ning, that's excellent. We can put u in charge of the team that does 10! :) And it would be great of we can talk about it in the preparation event and I still have no clue about them, I found them extremely confusing! Happy for you to test my Chinese as well! :)

Ning

Hey Kat, hope you had a great time in China! Gonna check out your Mandarin in the next outing! :)

Personally I would definitely like to challenge for 10. We can do it!

We were lucky to have an experienced guy in the team last year and found 7. We finished the night in 7h 42m covering 20km (12.5 miles), so prepare for quite a few circles in the woods!

Think I have a better idea about those clues now - can talk through last year's clues in our preparation event...
