findhorn dunes

Event Summary

Several of the Junior Regional Orienteering Squads have been unable to travel this year so they are visiting Moray to practise their skills.  As a thank you for using some of our maps the athletes have offered to plan and organise an event in Findhorn.

It might be an area we know but come and see if these young minds can come up with some new fun.

Runnable dunes and pine forest interspersed by thick impenetrable gorse and broom. Please adhere to the out of bounds areas on the map as these areas relate to the green burial site and lichen protection.

Dark Green thickets as shown on the map are according to the planners impassable gorse - you have been warned!

Some indistinct paths are a bit overgrown and spikey but we know what you will endure for those extra few seconds.
