Terrain
Mytchett is a prime orienteering area in the South of England. The area consists of a mix of fast mature forest and some open heathland, overlaid with a complex mixture of paths and evidence of military exercise usage. A number of defined contour slopes are complemented with smaller intricate contour detail.

Neither Southern Navigators, the landowner or British Orienteering can be held liable for any accident or other incident arising while undertaking the event. Participants take part at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety during the event - including clothing appropriate for the conditions, and if required, a means of summoning assistance (e.g. phone or whistle).

After forest orienteering, please check thoroughly for ticks and remove immediately if you find them. Lyme Disease is on the increase in the South East!
