There are plenty of options for refreshments near to the event centre.
Conduct
Please make yourself aware of and abide by the British Orienteering Participant Code of Conduct.
Safety
All competitors take part at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety.
The town centre is always busy so please be courteous to members of the public using the area.
The road between the event centre and the start is the busiest, we advise using the light controlled pedestrian crossing.
Please be careful near to the river, though not deep the water is quite fast flowing.
The junior courses will pass through the busy town at the start of their courses and will be run by the river. If any parents are concerned about this then please shadow your child.
Dogs
Dogs are welcome out on the courses, but only on leads please.
Clothing and equipment
Shorts and vests are allowed. Just be aware some vegetation may be encountered north of the river, this will only be on Courses 1 and 2.
The terrain is best suited for normal running shoes. Any off-road running will be on hard ground at this time of year.
Fences and OOB
Double tagged fences must not be crossed. Do not cross any thing marked with a thick black line or with impassable vegetation. All OOB areas must be avoided and respected.
Results
Results and Routegadget will be available on the club website.
Risk
Orienteering is an adventure sport; you are responsible for your own safety at the event and must not do anything that puts yourself or others at unnecessary risk.
Do not enter any of the water in the area while on your course.
