Each child will get a map of their course on waterproof paper. On this map will be marked the start location, indicated by a purple triangle, each control location, indiacted by a purple circle with a sequence number adjacent to it and the finish location, indicated by two concenric purple circles.
At each control location there will be a an electronic box with a three digit code on it. This is mounted on a 1m high post with and orange and white fabric kite to make it more visible. The three digit code corresponds with the table of information on the map. This table gives the control sequence number, its 3 digit code and a description of the location.
The children should check that the control they have just arrived at has the same 3 digit code on it as shown in the table of information on their map.

The risk assessment following NGB guidlines is available for your school to make its own assessment at: Risk Assessment for guidance.
While your pupils are out on their course you should enter the competition area to validate that the safety precautions that are in place are sufficient.
There will be CLOK marshalls in the competition area all wearing Hi-Vis vests and logo'd clothing to identify them to the children in case they need assistance.
One map of each course that your pupils are entered on, will be available for the staff team to use to navigate around the competition area.
