Welcome to STAG & Orienteering

 


GLASGOW GREEN - Orienteering History

STAG's use of this park has been limited to summer
evening events. The flat nature of the Park provides
an ideal venue for novices with a limited physical
challenge. 
The course will utilise the historic nature of
the area with no additional markers required once
redevelopment has been completed in 2006.

Difficulties being experienced with sales outlets.
