Provisional Details for SINS 2021
With the Covid 19 situation improving we are hopeful that we will be able to hold orienteering events over the traditional SINS weekend of the late May Bank Holiday.
Obviously this will be subject to the restrictions / guidance in place at the time.
Planning is proceeding on the following basis.
Our current plan is to hold 2 events rather than the normal 3.
Saturday 29th May would be on Corndon Hill with Sunday 30th May on the adjacent Stapeley / Rorrington.
These are located 5 miles North of Bishops Castle.
Car parking would be in the same field for both days.
A potential problem is that the England / Wales border bisects the area with Corndon and the car parking field in Wales and Stapeley / Rorrington in England.
So both the English and Welsh restrictions will have to permit the events for them to proceed.
The events will be Level C with 8 colour coded courses. Entry will be online to enable us to control the number of entrants in accordance with any restrictions / guidance applicable at the time.
The Midland Area Long Distance Championships were due to be incorporated into day 2 of SINS and we are investigating whether this can still be accommodated. However this will require a number of relaxations to the BOF rules for Area Championships.
We will provide a further update in approx. 2 weeks time around the 31st March.
Please Give Us Feedback
Thank you for taking part in Springtime in Shropshire 2019.
The format for the event was changed this year and we would welcome your comments and suggestions to help us continue to make further improvements in the future.
If you didn’t enter – why?
Did the combination of Urban, Long distance and Middle distance events provide an acceptable test of your orienteering skills?
Would a recognised campsite and a social evening add more to your visit to Shropshire?
Does the chance of winning a medal provide a greater incentive to enter the event?
What other changes or additions would help to make the 3 day event more attractive / enjoyable?
Please email your replies to the Coordinators.
Thank you,
Steve and Andy

Minor Change to Day3 Details
There has been a minor update to the final details for day 3 on the website. There has been a change of exit route from the car park field.
Sheep at Brown Clee
To give a truly Shropshire feel to this Event, we are sharing the Car Parking and Arena field with the sheep. They may want to lick the salt from your car, but they won’t bother us if we don’t bother them. Please be vigilant about hygiene.
Minor change to Day 1 Details
Final details for Day 1 (Shrewsbury Urban) have been updated to Version 2 (24 May 2019). The change is very minor: “Competitors should note that control sites will not have pin punches attached. Should a control not respond competitors should report this at the finish and download.”
M54 Roadworks
There are ongoing road works and barrier repairs taking place on the M54 motorway. Most of the work is taking place overnight. However there may be lane closures on the main carriageway and slip roads which could cause delays to people using the M54 when travelling to and from the event this weekend.
Please check travel updates if you think you may be affected by these road works.
