Easter Xplorer Challenge at Heysham Nature Reserve - Saturday 10th April

About the event

Brought to you in partnership with British Orienteering, Xplorer is the perfect outdoor activity to get the whole family outside in the fresh air together! There are also certificates for those completing the challenges!

There are 2 courses available:

Challenge 1

The markers you need to find are located on or next to surfaced paths. The markers are in number order and form a circular route, which is perfect for those who are new to the Reserve, orienteering or visiting with younger children. The markers are all ‘Easter’ themed.

Challenge 2

This course represents more of a challenge and you will need to use your navigation skills to track down the numbered markers located across the reserve! The markers are all ‘Bird’ themed.

You can decide which course you do on the day or why not sign up for both? Don’t worry, both trails are along the same route so you can stick together as a family.

This is an outdoor activity. You will need to come dressed for the weather conditions wearing sturdy footwear. Children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult at all times.

Each map pack contains - One map (either challenge 1 or 2 - decide which on the day), one answer sheet, an Xplorer pencil and full instructions. Upon completion your child will receive a certificate? Please also ensure that you book the number of packs you require for your group.
