iROMP
INVOC invites you to our latest iROMP (INVOC Regular Orienteering Mapping Programme) at Carse of Ardersier. This isn’t an organised event as such – the controls have been laid out discreetly in the woodland, so just print a map and go run the courses in your own time. There are no timing devices - self time your run if desired, and input your time via a form on our website. As always please carefully read the safety information in the Event Details.
With thanks to Iain Shepherd for planning and organising.
Course and safety info here. Maps sent by email in eNews.
Achtermack iROMP remains out until the end of the month. Course and safety info here. Maps sent by email in eNews.

BUGHT PARK POC AND MAPRUN
We are pleased to announce that the Permanent Orienteering Course at Bught Park has been updated with new physical markers and new courses. To celebrate we have put the next Maprun courses onto Bught Park using the new POC markers. A big thank you to Johannes Petersen for repositioning the markers and updating the POC, plus to Dave Hall for updating the map.
There are three virtual Maprun courses set up for Bught Park:
1) Long Urban 5.0km
2) Short Urban 3.4km
3) Score Urban 2.2km
Details of these are available with the download for each course, which is available from the BOF website. The Short and Score courses just use the POC physical control markers, the Long includes some additional virtual controls. Distances by route choice. The courses have been set up to run using MaprunF or MaprunG. Lockcodes are required and these are given in the details - due to an error, the lockcodes of Long and Score courses have been swapped at present (03/Nov/2020)
