SBOC Winter League 5 - Christmas Special
This is a local orienteering event organised by Swansea Bay Orienteering Club at Crymlyn Burrows, near Swansea, on Sunday 20 December 2026. The event is part of a club league and is described as a Christmas-themed occasion; fancy dress is encouraged and a prize will be awarded for the best outfit.
The terrain is sand dunes with vague contours, scrubby vegetation, patches of gorse and thicker undergrowth. Maps will be pre-marked; the map scale is A4 at 1:7,500 with 2.5 m contours.
Two courses are offered:
- Cracker (green standard) : 4 km
- Sledge (orange standard) : 2 km
Entries are open to members and non-members and fees range from £3 to £9 depending on category and membership. Senior British Orienteering members and non-members have different fees; juniors and students have reduced fees and club juniors may receive a further discount when meeting membership conditions. SI card hire is available for newcomers and payments at the event are processed by contactless card.
Assembly, registration and parking are located near the Crymlyn Burrows car park; final directions and parking details are provided on the event website. A post-event Christmas meal and presentations are planned at a local venue following the orienteering activity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
