Covid-19
Whilst restrictions have been lifted, Covid-19 is very much still in circulation and we encourage a continued responsible approach to orienteering events. People have different risk tolerances and we like to be mindful of, and to respect, others' personal choices as normality returns.
Please do not attend if you or a member of your household has Covid-19 symptoms, if you have been asked to isolate by NHS Test and Trace, or if you are required to quarantine having been on holiday.
Please make yourself aware of and abide by the British Orienteering Participant Code of Conduct (revised August 2021).

The event centre is at Newlands Corner car park W3W ///manual.money.moss (post code GU4 8SE) where you can park your car. Other modes of transport are possible - cycle, bus, train. Buses 25, 625 and PT1 stop at Newlands Corner. There are 2 railway stations in Guildford: from the mainline station it is a 3.7 mile walk; from the smaller London Road station only 3 miles. Bus 25 runs from the Friary bus station near the main Guildford station, via the London Road station, to Newlands Corner (and beyond).
