Planners Notes
Please observe all objects marked as uncrossable and do not enter any out-of-bounds areas.
No attempt should be made to cross the river other than by bridges.
There is a disused railway line that has some very steep embankments that can be very slippery. We advise people to run round rather than attempting the steep slopes.
Be wary of traffic around the Town Centre, in the middle there is a five way junction of reasonably busy roads.
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. Please remember that COVID has not gone away, please respect those that want to be socially distanced.
