Areas

This map shows HOC areas that have hosted events since 2011; it does not include areas that were created by generating a map from the Open Orienteering application or other non-standard map (typically the Night Street League).

Click on a map pin for a link to the Area details, including a list of all events hosted by that area up to and including August 2023. These in turn have links to results etc where known. Alternatively scroll down to the table of areas which can be searched.

The “Get Directions” links on the map pins are generic and do not override instructions in event details. Much of the wording on the areas pages is taken from earlier work by David Williams (available here) and Dave Nevell.

The second column in this table is provided for future planners and organisers to see a quick overview of the level and nature of events held there in the past. This alone is not confirmation that it is still suitable; more information may be available from either the mapper or the Landowner Liaison Officer.
