Opening of a new Permanent Orienteering Course on a new map of Lyme
Saturday 24th October 2015
The original Lyme POC was opened in 1976. Was it the first, or just one of the first in the country? After nearly 40 years we decided to start from scratch and create a new POC, using a totally re-surveyed map of the Park.
The National Trust are extremely supportive of the project. Their volunteers are going to help “plant” the posts.
