Fermanagh Orienteers welcome you to Co Fermanagh on September 9th/10th for the NI Open Event and the Senior Home International Competition.
The Open Event/SHI on Saturday will use an updated Florencecourt/Gortalughany map. It will include courses for all age classes competing in the Northern Ireland Championships and also a limited range of Colour Coded courses suitable for beginners and progressing orienteers.
The Senior Home International Competition is a 2 day event. The Individual event will take place on Saturday morning before the Open Event begins in the early afternoon. The Senior Home International Relays will take place on Sunday morning at Castle Saunderson Scout Centre on the Fermanagh/Cavan border.

The assembly and car parking will be adjacent to this splendid Scouting Ireland facility. A charge of £1 will be levied on all competitors. This will cover parking and access to toilets and showers and will be collected at registration.

Terrain notes
The map was surveyed by Pat Healy in November 2012 and updated in 2014, 2015 and January 2017. This one-time grand demesne consists of some rough grazing parkland near the old castle and large areas of mainly Sitka Spruce plantation with mixed runnability. Recent forest operations have created many new extraction tracks, only some of which are approximately mapped. Some areas of older deciduous and coniferous trees are badly invaded by rhododendron. Courses have been planned to make best use of the runnable areas of woodland and route choice options around the plentiful forest roads and tracks.
