Orienteering at Affpuddle woods

Affpuddle woods are near Tolpuddle. There were 5 courses, the white, yellow, orange, light green and one hour score that had 5 extra points. White had 10 controls and was 1.5km long and 40m climb. It was the easiest of the courses. Yellow was 2.5km long with 50m climb and 12 controls that were not too hard and not too easy. Orange was 3.5 km long with a 60m climb and 12 controls was getting harder. Light green was 4.5km long with a long climb of 70m and 14 controls was 2nd hardest. The aim of the score course was to get as many points as you can in one hour. It varyed immensely in distance and height because there were many routes. Me, Joe Ramage and his mum went round yellow course in 29 minutes.
