The NGOC series of winter street events starts on 2 October. This is the third year we’ve held these events, and they’ve been a popular addition to the calendar. We’ve got a wider set of locations this time, both East and West of the Severn; note that this year’s events are mostly on Wednesdays.
The format remains the same: score events with 30 controls (worth 10, 20 or 30 points) and a 1-hour time limit. Your aim is to score as many points as you can within the hour. Arrive by 18:40 in time for a mass start at 19:00.
We use the Maprun phone app for scoring, which gives us instant results and route comparisons at the end. If you haven’t tried Maprun before, find out how to get started here.
