EBOR TRAINING BRAYTON BARFF 16/1/99 

    
    

      

        A 
        WHITE COURSE 1.5km 
      

      

         
        This course sticks to paths and is suitable for
        complete novices because there is a control at every junction. 
      

      

        B 
        YELLOW COURSE 1.6km 
      

      

         
        This course also sticks to the paths but it is harder
        than a white course because you have to go past junctions and change
        direction. There is also some route choice. 
      

      

        C 
        CUTTING CORNERS 1.5km 
      

      

         
        This course is designed to encourage you to take short
        cuts through the trees to save time. You can practise your basic compass
        techniques. 
      

      

        D 
        CORRIDOR EXERCISE 1.6km 
      

      

         
        Don't copy this course onto a coloured map because you
        are not supposed to have any information outside the strip of pre-marked
        map. Try to go straight where brambles allow using your compass for
        direction and ticking off the major features as you pass them on the
        straight-line route 
      

      

        E 
        CONTROL PICKING 1.7km 
      

      

         
        No route choice - try to go straight using each control
        as the attack point for the next one. Use your compass for basic
        direction and map orientation making the features match the map. Pace
        counting isn't necessary but may help with distance if you need to
        relocate. 
      

      

        F 
        MAP MEMORY 1.6km or 2.9km 
      

      

         
        Don't take a map with you. Look at the small section of
        map at the start and remember the basic detail needed to get to control
        1. At each control there is a mini-map board showing the next control .

         There are copies of this course for beginners who have completed the
        yellow course.
