Beacon Hill - Broombriggs

These courses are the hardest at Beacon Hill.  Easier courses can be found at Beacon Hill Top or Lower car parks.

The courses are the same but the control description lists are different: the Score (Text) uses words to describe the control sites and the Score (Pictorial) uses international symbols which are used for racing.

Hazards: Windmill Hill has crags up to 5m high and some water.

Groups: There are English Nature limits on the use of Beacon Hill for orienteering. Permission should be sought from the Leicestershire County Council and a license fee may be payable.

Safety: There is a road crossing and traffic moves at high speeds. Use a safe crossing point. e.g. at the car park.

Missing Controls:   none reported.

Map updated: February 2019, Courses changed in June 2019 following the loss of a couple of posts.

Lengths of courses shown are in straight lines between controls, and the estimate of times are for someone running to someone walking. Both will vary depending on your route choice and ability.
