Summer Xplorer Challenge

Explore Brockholes, find the markers, complete the challenge and have fun together. 

Brought to you in partnership with British Orienteering, this is the perfect outdoor activity to get the whole family outside in the fresh air together.  There are certificates for those completing the challenge along with a sweet treat. 

There are two courses available:
Challenge One
The markers you need to find are located on or next to surfaced paths and the route is pram friendly.  The markers are in number order and form a circular route and is perfect for those who are new to Brockholes or to orienteering or visiting with younger children.
Challenge Two:
This course represents more of a challenge and you will need to use your navigation skills to track down the markers located across the reserve.  Not suitable for prams.

You can decide on which course you do on the day.  This is an outdoor activity.  You will need to come dressed for the weather conditions, wearing sturdy footwear.  Children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult. 

Each map pack contains one map (either challenge one or teo), one answer sheet, a pencil and full instructions.  On completion you will receive the answers, a certificate and a sweet treat.  Please ensure that you book the number of packs you require for your group. You are advised to book one pack per child, but adults are welcome to book one too.
