 night orienteering please be aware that night events are physically demand
 ing and require a higher level of technical skill. Please choose your cour
 se accordingly.\n\nAs this is a night event competitors must be in age gro
 ups M/W16 and above.\n\nAll competitors must carry a whistle and head torc
 h.  Reflective clothes are strongly recommended (to aid location of lost 
 / missing runners should this be necessary). Also carrying a spare torch i
 s recommended in case of battery failure etc.\n\nYou may be required to ca
 rry a cagoule\, depending on weather conditions.\n\nPlease also read the s
 pesfic hazards section at the foot of the page.\nToilets\nThere will be no
  toilets at the event. Competitors previously attending the Score Champs /
  AGM in St Columb's Park should use the facilities there.\nDogs\nDogs must
  not accompany runners on courses.\nTerrain Notes\nWhile Ballykelly is a s
 mall forest\, it has a complex network of tracks and small paths running t
 hrough a diverse patchwork of forest types. Around the periphery there is 
 a band of naturally regenerating traditional mixed forest with the core be
 ing comprised of blocks of coniferous plantation. This central area has ma
 tured well in recent years and now offers a good degree of runnability. Vi
 sibility varies\, particularly in the natural forest area where Holly bush
 es etc. make straight line running difficult and careful compass work will
  pay dividends.\n\nThe area is used by mountain bikers who have contribute
 d to the path network and provide a number of rough bridges across ditches
  - these should always be treated with caution.\nHazards\n\n\n\n\n\n 	\nTh
 ere is a steep sided old quarry\, quite close to a main internal forest ro
 ad (sse map segment above).\n\nAll courses have been planned that competit
 ors\, should not be approaching from above as part of their route choice\,
  should anyone approach \, they will see yellow/ black tape cordoning this
  off\nIf competitors see black/yellow tape\, then they  should check thei
 r location\, this will confirm their position\n\n 	\n Bridges made by Mou
 ntain bikers - there are a number of these\, we cannot guarantee how well 
 built they are\, they are mostly composed of wood\, and can be particularl
 y slippery\n 	\nUsual slip/trip hazards of a forested area\, that are less
  visible by night\n\n\n
