45 minute score
Under 16s must be accompanied due to road crossings, as a condition of cover by British Orienteering insurance. Please be careful crossing and running along roads, the area is a large development with many dead ends and many houses, so there will be lots of parked cars and plenty driving around too. The biggest road crossed is Wishbone way, which is just into the estate and is a 30mph limit. Control sites are mainly lamp post numbers, with a few other features with multiple choice answers.
Free to club members
Starts are from 5.45pm to 7.15pm.
Bring:
head torch - some of the control sites are in the park
map bag in case it rains and I have paper maps
Pen / pencil to complete the answer sheet
Normal road trainers are fine, it's mostly on tarmac, although the park is a bit muddy in places.

Safety and Risk: A comprehensive risk assessment will have been carried out by the organiser. Competitors are responsible for their own personal safety and for assessing their own abilities to complete the course. 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!
Covid-19: Before attending any orienteering activity, all orienteers (including officials, volunteers and coaches) should self-assess for symptoms of COVID-19. If you, or anyone you live with, have one or more of these symptoms you should not attend any sporting activity, even if your symptoms are mild.
Insurance: All participants are covered by the British Orienteering third-party liability insurance policy. (NB: This is not a personal injury policy).
