As with any street orienteering this requires participants to cross roads and you are asked to take due care and attention at all times. Road crossings on short course are roads with very light slow moving traffic. High visibility clothing is strongly recommended.
There may be dog walkers, cyclists or residents on pavements and footpaths – be aware and give them priority.
