The next SMOC event will be held at the Forest
of Marston Vale, starting at the visitor’s centre
Starts:
whenever you are ready, at any time between 10.30 and 12.00
There will be three courses:
A technical Green course suitable for experienced adults of approx 5.2km
A moderate Orange course suitable for families and experienced youngsters of approx 3.5km
An easy Yellow course suitable for novices and families of approx 3.1 km. Wheelchair-friendly for adventurous types - a mixture of hardcore and grassy paths
Beginners should note that course lengths are the straight line distance between controls. As a straight line is rarely the best or easiest way between controls actual distances covered will be significantly further.

Dogs: allowed on leads
