You must not attend if you or a member of your household has COVID-19 symptoms or if you are required to self isolate.

You must adhere to the British Orienteering Participant Code of Conduct.

Event centre
The event centre is at Shorne Woods Country Park, Brewers Road, Shorne DA12 3HX very close to the A2. Follow the Brown tourist signs to the Country Park.

The parking charge is £3.30 and is for the whole day. You can pay using the paybyphone app (best to register in advance), credit card or coins. The car park operates via license plate recognition so don't forget to pay.

The event centre, start, finish and download are close to the main car park within the Country Park. Look for the tall blue DFOK sail banner at the far north eastern corner of the large car park (w3w prove.forum.models) and follow the signs for 50m to the tent. You may find it more convenient to drive round the car park to get a parking place near there.

There are refreshments available at the Visitor Centre and toilets. The forecast is for hot weather so please bring sufficient fluids for your needs or buy water from the cafe.

Entry fees
There are two Senior and Junior fees noted above. The lower one is for members of British Orienteering. You do not have to be a member to participate and we welcome newcomers.

If you are a newcomer and would like to know more about the event, please email the Organiser. We will send you two short videos so that you know what to expect and how to enjoy the event.

Start
The start is approx. 250m from the event centre. Follow the red and white tapes,

Please make every reasonable effort to arrive at the event in time for your allocated start window

Road crossing
The Green and Blue courses cross the road leading to the entrance to the country park twice. There are three optional marked crossing points on the map. You must not run along the road. Please take care crossing the road. Score course participants do not have to cross the road.

Electronic punching
Electronic punching will be used and the controls will be activated for contactless punching. Hired dibbers will be in individual envelopes for collection at Enquiries. Everyone must punch at the start and finish as these are not set up for contactless recording.

Control descriptions
Control descriptions are printed on the map. For those who prefer to also have loose control descriptions to save opening and refolding the map, these are available online as a pdf from the front event page of the DFOK website but will not be available at the event.

Finish and Download
After finishing, please proceed directly to Download. Your splits print out will be handed to you. Hired SI dibbers should then be deposited in a pink container nearby.

Results will not be on display at the event but we hope to be providing a QR code link to live results at the event. They will also be on the DFOK website www.dfok.co.uk after the event.
