Map preview
Live view from RouteGadget — click and drag to pan, scroll to zoom. PFO doesn't host the map itself; it's loaded from RouteGadget where the surveyors have agreed to public display.
Why is the map shown via RouteGadget?
PFO doesn't display orienteering maps on this site because they're derived from Ordnance Survey data under licence restrictions. The map above is loaded from RouteGadget, which already has permission from the surveyors to display each map publicly. We're just embedding their viewer — the map content isn't hosted here.
Important: possession or existence of a map does not imply right of access to the area for orienteering or for any other purpose. Permission must be obtained from the landowner.
Brun Valley Forest Park is one of PFO’s headline venues and is ideal for events such as the Yvette Baker Trophy and Shield competitions. Mixed forest, open meadow, the river Brun winding through the middle, and a network of paths and tracks, plus a lake to circumnavigate.
Used for the May 2026 Regional and Yvette Baker Trophy round.
Access
Park at Heasandford on the eastern side or at Brun Lea on the west, depending on event setup.
