Junior Orienteering
For school parties only

Arena has developed various orienteering sessions, both half and full day, which can be used either as a competitive team building event or fund raising days. Set in the heart of South East England on 250 acres and overlooking the 770 acres of Bewl Water, you have access to miles of woodland tracks, bridle paths, country lanes and the 13 mile Bewl perimeter walk.

Using 1:25.000 scale maps, compasses are not required as field boundaries are shown in detail to aid navigation.

Teams will be issued with a list of map references, each of which relates to a cryptic clue.

The answer can only be found by visiting the actual spot. The most distant places will be worth more points, but they cannot all be visited in the time allowed.

Teams can either work together as one group or split into 2 sections to cover as much ground as possible within the time constraints.

A half-day Orienteering can be combined with the Team Tasks, whereby the morning’s points can be used to buy equipment necessary to achieve the afternoon tasks.

Price:

Half-Day: £32.50 per head inc. VAT based on a minimum of 10 participants

Clothing:

Walkers should bring a complete change of warm waterproof clothing and sturdy footwear plus each group should have at least 1 mobile phone in the event of an emergency.

Transport to the site:

We urge organisers to use cars and mini buses, and not coaches, if at all possible. However if coaches are used access must be down Rosemary Lane from the A21.

Arena Pursuits is located just off the A21 (London – Hastings) between Lamberhurst and Flimwell, 8 miles from Tunbridge Wells and 21 miles from Junction 5 of the M25. We can arrange transport to and from Wadhurst Station, which is 59 minutes down the line from Charing Cross/Cannon Street.
