Types of Event

Level A events are major events such as a British Championships. Courses are age-based, e.g. W45L.
Level B events are high quality regional competitions. Courses can be age-based or colour coded (see below).
Level C events attract participants from around the local region. Courses are colour coded.
Level D events are usually aimed at participants in a 'localised' area such as a town park.
In most events, a competitor follows a specific course, but in a Score event the competitor plans their own route and needs to find as many controls as possible in a specified time.
Level C, Level D & Score events are ideal for newcomers.
