Parking will be in Pippingford Park (which is adjacent to the area)

Map
Updated and extended from the 2018 map during the intervening years. The map is ISOM2017. Survey and cartography by Mike Elliot. Scale is 1:15,000 with 5 metre contours printed on A3 waterproof paper for Courses 1&2 and 1:10,000 with 5 metre contours printed on A3+ waterproof paper for Courses 3 to 17
(NOTE: The original information had Course 3 at 1:15,000, this has now changed)
You can view the 2018 map Here
Punching
SI Controls will be used throughout and will be SIAC enabled (other than the Start and Finish). SIAC units will be available to hire.
Note that Courses 1 has more than 30 controls (due to the necessity for 2 road crossings) so SI-5 cards will not record all the splits (they will record 30 splits and 6 additional controls) and SI-8 cards will only record 30 splits (and no extra controls).
Starts
There will be 2 starts close to each other. The starts are within 500 metres of the car park. Starts are from 10:30 am to 13:00 and courses close at 15:00
Public Transport
Whilst we recognise that restrictions have been eased, it is recommended not to use public transport to reduce the risk of Covid transmission.
The nearest rail station is East Grinstead, 8 Miles to the north of Pippingford Park.
There is no public transport on Sundays passing Pippingford Park.
Results
Results will be available on the club web site as soon as possible after the event.
Conduct

Risk
Orienteering is a physically challenging sport. Competitors take part at their own risk.
Safety
