Prestonfield Winterlope, Mon 13 - Sun 19 February


Second Winterlope of 2023 runs from Monday 13th - Sunday 19th February inclusive.

The second Winterlope of the year is at Prestonfield Golf Course,in the south of Edinburgh, planned by Katherine Ivory. Typical golf course terrain - short grass, slightly longer grass, and plenty of bunkers, copses and small bits of woodland to mix it up a bit. There's even a few peacocks and at least one cat to spot!

Courses

Maps are now available to download - courses should be run, after dark only, any time between 13th - 19th February inclusive. Thanks to Katherine Ivory for planning and Sarah Dunn for looking after the Maprun / SOA website uploads.

Instructions

Start location: by the Stables building to the left of the main house.  There is an entry point to the golf course here.

Special notes: As ever, watch out for hazards including golf course equipment that might be out.  There are some roped off areas for grass protection; look out for these.

See Winterlope page for instructions on how to use MapRun to record your course (or for manual upload if you can't use the MapRun app on phone or watch).

Most important of all: have fun! Winterlopes are just about enjoying some laid-back orienteering.
