Car Sharing available
A local event to celebrate World Orienteering Day!
Online entry here on Racesignup. SIAC will be enabled for the event, but only normal SI dibbers available to hire. Start times are from 10:00 - 13:00.
Please read about the car parking (below). The various car parks are not close together and to avoid travelling from one to the other if they are full, you could consider just parking at Newlands Corner and walking the 1.4 miles, if you are able to (follow the North Downs Way to St Martha's church).
Online entry is available up until 10am on the day of the event and is subject to the availability of pre-printed maps for each course.
You can amend your entry online until Thursday 11th. After that please contact the Organiser for amendments.
There will also be entry at the event for any courses still having maps available (pre-printed numbers are necessarily limited). But this on the day entry will not open until 11:45 am (so late starts only).

Covid-19
Whilst restrictions have been lifted, Covid-19 is very much still in circulation and we encourage a continued responsible approach to orienteering events. People have different risk tolerances and we like to be mindful of, and to respect, others' personal choices as normality returns.
Please do not attend if you or a member of your household has Covid-19 symptoms, if you have been asked to isolate by NHS Test and Trace, or if you are required to quarantine having been on holiday.
Please make yourself aware of and abide by the British Orienteering Participant Code of Conduct (revised August 2021).
Car Parking
There is no managed parking. There are 2 free car parks within easy walking distance in Halfpenny Lane and Guildford Lane, and one small one slightly further away up Guildford Lane where it turns into White Lane. They are of limited capacity and to try to ensure they do not get overfull, we have limited and spread out the race start times.
The car park at Newlands Corner is rather further to walk (1.4 miles) but is unlikely to fill up - W3W ///commented.soccer.closed
Toilets
There are no toilets at the event (there are toilets at Newlands Corner if you choose that car park).
To Assembly area and the Start
The assembly, start, finish and download are near St Martha's church on top of the hill and will be signed 600m from the two nearest car parks (Halfpenny Lane and Guildford Lane). Please stay on the signed route to avoid finding any controls before you start. If you park at Newlands Corner, follow the North Downs Way (westward) for 1.4 miles to get to St Martha's church.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome
Please keep them on a lead in the assembly/start/finish areas.
