"Lothlorien"
Newcastle Orienteer of the Year event 4 on a renewed map at Belford. The recently revised "Lothlorien" is the western part of the old “Pothana” map that, other than for a few legs of an NOY in 2016, hasn't been used for orienteering for many years.
Seven courses to suit all orienteers, from 1.8km Very Easy up to 6.8km Hard. Newcomers welcome.
"Spur-gully with subtle contours. Generally fast open forest. Watercourse detail and erosion. Small termite mounds and the occasional tree root mound and native cherry tree are scattered across the map".
