Day 2 (middle) - Saturday 3rd April – Penhale Sands

This is an IOF World Ranking Event

Arena: Part of the touring and camping area at Perran Sands Holiday Park.

Will be on Perranporth Airfield and everyone will be bussed to the arena. The car park entrance is off the B3285 at 50.3306, -5.1722 (OS grid ref SW 7433 5267).  There will be extremely limited parking available at the arena for those with reduced mobility or who are travelling with very young children. Anyone requiring a space will need to apply in advance. If more applications are received than there are spaces available, the allocation of spaces will be prioritised at the organiser's discretion.

Terrain: Intricate fixed dunes with a wealth of contour detail. Some courses may venture onto MoD land with almost no public access since the Southern Orienteering Championships in 2013.
