Event Details
This Orienteering activity is intended to be a test of a new map before we try to run an event on it. We will be grateful for any feedback you might have on the map. The map fee for this day will be £2 for an individual or £5 for a family of 3 or more. We will organise Yellow, Orange and Green courses. The courses will open at 11am.
Lochshore Park is a recreation area at Kilbirnie. There is a cafe with public toilets which is open from 10 till 3 each day. The park contains some rough woodland, a boating club, rugby pitches and a small airstrip. The airstrip is used by fliers of large radio controlled aircraft. Do not try to cross the airstrip or rugby pitches while they are in use; crossing is OK while these areas are quiet. Different areas of the park are used by joggers, dog walkers, cyclists, horse riders and motor bike scramblers; give way to these people. A lot of the land is damp so expect wet feet.
We will meet at the carpark next to the cafe and kids playground. The park is located at Caledonian Road, Longbar, Glengarnock, North Ayrshire, Scotland,

The simplest approach is probably via the big roundabout on the A737 at the south side of Beith; follow the small signs from the roundabout to Glengarnock. If the carpark is busy park alongside the minor road past the rugby pitches. For public transport see Traveline Scotland. Glengarnock Station is about a 20 minute walk to the park.
