Easter in Cornwall


Due to the cancellation of the JK, Cornwall OC intend to offer some orienteering events during the Easter week. So for those people who have already booked a holiday in the county in anticipation of a festival of orienteering and for those who are still looking for something to do over Easter, here are the details.

As with all planned events at the moment, things may change in the intervening months!

Proposed Events

Saturday 3rd April - Colour coded at Penhale South.

PLEASE NOTE: Only residents booked into accommodation at Perran Sands Holiday Park may enter the Penhale event; this is due to a government Covid capacity restriction on the number of people on this site.

The link to the Perran Sands website is over on the right.

Sunday 4th April - Long Sprint at Cornwall College, Camborne.

Tuesday 6th April - Urban event, Falmouth.

Thursday 8th April - Colour coded at Mt Edgcumbe

All of these events will be run under BOF Covid-19 guidelines and Risk Assessment in accordance with government restrictions at the time. You will need to be prepared to comply with the BOF Participant Code of Conduct.
