Copehill Down: New Year’s Day 2017

A military training village on Salisbury Plain is not be the kind of place you’d expect an orienteering race to take place.But for one day only. Salisbury Plain’s Copehill Down was the unique and challenging location for the hosting of Sarum Orienteers’ New Year’s Day orienteering event. The event attracted nearly 200 orienteers who had to contend with cold winds, rain, mud and the clock in a score format race, in which they had one hour to visit as many of the control sites placed around the military vehicles, empty houses and bunkers in the complex village and surrounding open Plain countryside as they could.
