Border Liners have established two virtual orienteering courses (VOCs) at Rickerby Park in Carlisle. The 2 courses use checkpoints of the existing Permanent Orienteering Course (POC) in the park.
We have revised the courses for 2025, with the long course at 3.3km in length and 24 checkpoints, the short course 2.2km and 18 checkpoints. Each VOC is a pre-set course within Rickerby Park using the MaprRun app. To load a new event in the app: Select Event, then search for your choice of event under folder UK/Cumbria/North.
VOC course maps for printing at home can be downloaded free from GO Orienteering, British Orienteering’s permanent and virtual orienteering course web portal.
Rickerby Park has public parking only at it’s northern end off Brampton Road, nearest postcode CA3 9AD, what3words ///combining.blast.curry, OS grid reference NY410570. Unfortunately there are no toilet facilities at Rickerby Park.
It’s easy to get started. Getting set up with MapRun is not too complex, with some guidance from us here. Why not give it a try?
Border Liners is the orienteering club covering the North and East of Cumbria. If you want to try our sport at a real orienteering event we have Saturday morning events most months suitable for all abilities. See our events page for future fixtures.
