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.

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.
