The next AYROC activity will take place on Saturday 2nd November 2024 at 11.00am in Dean Park, Kilmarnock. This will be an opportunity to do some training on the skill of measuring distance followed by either an Orange course or another Score course ( possibly in preparation for the Scottish Score Champs at Vogrie on 9th November)
Dean Castle Country Park is a 200-acre rural valley park with woodland paths, open grass areas, play areas and tearoom, around a 14th century castle museum.
From the A77 the park is approached via the B7038, Glasgow Road then take Dean Road and left into the car park. (This may be busy because there is often football and the Parkrun on a Saturday morning) Buses can be taken from the centre of Kilmarnock along Glasgow Road to the end of Dean Road which is then a short walk to the park entrance.

There is a cafe at the Visitor Centre and also at the Kiosk both of which are open between 9.30 and 3.30 and provide Toilets.
Orienteers take part at their own risk. A risk assessment will have been carried out however the following should be noted. Care should be taken underfoot as there are uneven paths and there could be mud in places. Dean Park is popular so there will be many other users and consideration should be given to them, including dog walkers. First Aid will be available from one of AYROC's members who has First Aid training.
