It is a residential street with parking on both sides of the road, but please avoid double yellow lines, and park courteously. There are sports fields on the south side of the road. There are no parking restrictions in Stanford after 4pm so there should be plenty of parking available.

Participation is at your own risk. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Bring clothing and footwear appropriate for the weather conditions.  As with any street orienteering this requires participants to cross roads and you are asked to take due care and attention at all times.  High visibility clothing is strongly recommended.  There may be dog walkers, cyclists or residents on pavements and footpaths – be aware and give them priority.  Some roads do not have pavements so take extra care.
