Details
| Description: | The event will form part of SOS Winter Mid-Week Street O’ League. Points will be awarded based on finishing time adjusted using a handicap system. Each missed/incorrect control will have 5 minute penalty. Best 4 results from the series will count. Full details will be published on the SOS website. You will need a head or hand held torch. Some paths may be unlit. Under 16’s 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 using the pavements and footpaths – be aware. |
