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.

Map/Terrain
1:4,000 on A3 waterproof paper, 5m contours. Mainly housing estates with some parkland & forest. Roughly 1/3rd forest and 2/3rds urban. Larger forest tracks are gravelled. There are areas of marsh and stream crossings in the forest, as well as a steep gully which can be difficult to cross when wet - routes can be found to avoid all of these.

For Odds & Evens, start on either the odd or the even numbers, then change over to the other set whenever you choose - BUT once you have changed over, you cannot go back to the first set of numbers.
