Each event will have one course, with two time limits - Long (60 mins) and Short (40 mins).

Introduction
The event will form part of the HAVOC Mid-Week Twilight League. There will be three events, each with a specific score format. Each event will have one course, with two time limits - Long (60 mins) and Short (40 mins).

Participation is at your own risk. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Bring clothing and footwear appropriate for the weather conditions. As with any street orienteering you are required to cross roads and you are asked to take due care and attention at all times. High visibility clothing is strongly recommended. There may be dog walkers, cyclists or residents on pavements and footpaths – be aware and give them priority. Some roads do not have pavements so take extra care. As this event will take place in the twilight, a head torch or similar may be required if you are starting later in the start window.
