Manx Lottery Trust has given a grant of £2,500 grant to the Isle of Man Orienteering Klubb (IOMOK) to support the remapping of several areas.
The grant will fund the ramapping of South Barrule Forest and Archallagan Forests, as well as the creation of new maps for Chibbanagh Plantation and Mooragh Park.
This funding, provided through the Smaller Grants Programme, will enable IOMOK to enhance and expand orienteering opportunities across the Isle of Man.
Orienteering Klubb
Significant changes in footpaths, tracks, and vegetation in South Barrule and Archallagan forests, caused by recent storms, necessitate the remapping of these areas for orienteering use.
Additionally, new maps will be created for Chibbanagh Plantation and Mooragh Park, where permanent orienteering markers will be placed.
These updates are crucial for ensuring that orienteering activities can continue safely and effectively in these popular locations.
The South Barrule Forest will be featured in IOMOK’s Boxing Day event this year, with Chibbanagh Plantation and Mooragh Park planned for events in 2025.
The new and updated venues will continue to be utilised for future events, offering enjoyable and challenging experiences for participants of all ages.
