Location of Enquiries and Download
Enquiries will be near the car park.

If you are new to orienteering, please come along to Enquiries and there will be people around who will be able to answer your questions, sort out your hired dibber, talk you through how the start works and point you in the direction of the start (where you will pick up your map).

You must download once you have finished. This is a safety check!

Start
The start will be within 100m of the Enquiries flag and tent.
You will need to visit Enquiries if you are hiring a dibber. Otherwise, you can go straight to the start as you will have pre-entered on racesignup
At the start, there will be people there to help if you need it.

Loose control descriptions will be available at the start for Light Green and Short Blue courses and at Enquiries for Yellow and Orange courses. Please have a way of attaching these (a safety pin or similar if you don't have a CD holder) as we don't want them dropped and so becoming litter around the area.

Start Times
Starts are open 10-11.30am. Please choose a start time to ensure you can finish before the courses close at 12.30pm.
Start times have been added to your sign up to prevent long queues at the start. However, these are advisory only. We won't be checking!

Parking
We will be parking in the college car park. Please share transport where you can

Facilities
There are toilets next to enquiries. Please don't go in wearing spikes or very muddy shoes

Dogs
No dogs allowed. Not even in the car park...
