NB In line with Urban Orienteering practice the course details include an optimal route length. Of course this is much longer than the normally quoted straight-line length.

Electronic Punching

Sportident Electronic punching with beacon mode enabled for SI Air on all controls but not on the start and finish boxes which must be “dipped” in the traditional manner. Ordinary SI cards will work on all controls as normal.

Passive SI dippers will be available to borrow at enquiries for those who do not have their own.

Water

Please bring your own water and make sure you are fully hydrated before starting.

Hazards:

  • All courses will encounter some road crossings – please take appropriate care.
  • This is a busy public area – please take normal precautions.
