More areas of the Island to be mapped for orienteers

Fri, 30 Sep 2022

Manx Lottery Trust is supporting a project that will see several more areas of the Island mapped for orienteering use.

The grant for £2,500 will help the Isle of Man Orienteering Klubb map Ballaugh & Sleau Curin Plantation (including Glen Dhoo Nature Reserve), Braddan Head & Bradda Glen, and Silverdale Glen for the use of Orienteering activities, with permanent orienteering markers placed at these locations.

Once completed, orienteering courses will be developed for these sites, with events to launch each taking place later this year and during 2023.

The Isle of Man Orienteering Klubb was formed in March 2017 to develop the sport of orienteering in the Isle of Man.
