Five Tors DEVON Orienteering event on Dartmoor
This is an orienteering event run by DEVON Orienteering club, and a fantastic opportunity to try the sport, maybe for the first time, in terrain as awesome as that on Dartmoor!
The event organiser has described it as, "a great area with wide spaces of open Moor for fast running alongside slower, more challenging sections with intricate contour detail, boulders and vegetation." For more information, check out the DEVON OC website: https://www.devonorienteering.co.uk/events/fiver-tors-dartmoor-sun-21-sept-2025
There are several courses available, suitable for different levels of experience and fitness;
- Yellow 1.3km 35m climb
- Orange 2.1km 55m climb
- Light Green 3.8km 155m climb
- Short Green 3.0km 115m climb
- Green 3.7km 165m climb
- Blue 5.4km 215m climb
- Brown 7.9km 290m climb
You can choose to start anytime between 10:30 and 12:20, though if you want to meet the rest of UPOC attending, we recommend leaving Plymouth about 10AM to get there around 10:40. We'll then be able to share out kit like compasses that you'll need.
Once you've bought a ticket, we'll take care of the entry process for you, just send us a message on the instagram @uop.orienteering with the course you want to try out and we'll add you to our Whatsapp transport groupchat so we can organise lift shares.
We look forward to seeing everyone there!
