Step up to the challenge...

Swarth Fell

This Thursday, join us at Swarth Fell / Lowther Forest (on the Cold Fell road, south of Ennerdale Bridge) for the next event in this year's popular Winter Series (only 2 left now). Bring your head torch and test your navigational skills on this fast open fell. There will be a course suitable for runners who are learning to navigate (Nighthawk), as well as courses for experienced orienteers. Come and try it - you don't need to be a member of the club (for your first 3 runs).

For more details, see the Events page. For results from the first 14 events, click here.
