Cromford Moor - Sunday 23 November 2025
EM League Event
About this event
Cromford Moor including Black Rocks and the slope of Cromford Incline offers orienteering that can be physically and mentally challenging! The eastern area consists of steeply contoured beech wood, with boulders proliferating as you move west towards Black rocks. The inclined plateau east of the trig point has a confusion of knolls.
The event is part of the East Midlands Orienteering League.
