The competition is on the Burley West map, last used for a November Classic in 2015. The area is a mix of ancient and managed woodland and open heathland. The map is from a new and full survey carried out this year.

Start Times
You will be able to select your preferred start time as part of the entry process. In the lead up to the event we will review all start times and may need to make small adjustments. Once finalised, start times will be displayed on Racesignup and sent to you with the Final Details.

Selecting your class
The November Classic is an age class competition. Please enter the class you want to compete in.

To be competitive you need to select the Class that matches your British Orienteering age category OR you can run up and select a lower Age Class for seniors, a higher Age Class for juniors.

If you would like to run down please select the Colour class of your choice.

UKOL Points will only be awarded to those competing in the Age Class that matches their BO age category - it is not permitted to run up and score points. However, juniors in classes M/W14 and below are permitted to ‘run up’ and score points in the MW16 class.

If you are new to orienteering, our novice classes for juniors are White (short) and Yellow (long). For senior novices we recommend Orange (short) or Long Orange (long).

Dogs
Dogs are allowed in the event centre and must be kept under control at all times due to the number of people and vehicles in the area.

Dogs are not allowed on the courses.

Please be aware of the New Forest Dog Walking Code
