The event will form part of the 8 event HAVOC/SOS Winter Mid-Week O’ League. Points will be awarded based on finishing times adjusted using an age/gender handicap system.

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 you are required 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. Also, there are alleys and footpaths that are not lit - extra caution needed.
Post race: Probably be rude not to try the Chough, but Herongate & Ingrave have alternative establishments
