Terrain: There are three distinct parts to the competition area. Eston Moor is a relatively flat area of open moorland with many paths, a few wooded areas and areas of thicker vegetation. Many parts of the moor offer fast running. At the northern edge of Eston Moor there is a fairly steep slope leading down to the farmland below. On the slope there are small patches of trees and a number of rock features. The bracken gets high during the latter part of the summer, but will be much less of a hiderance to progress at this time of year. The start is likely to be along this slope. Lazenby Bank extends to the east of the Eston Moor slope. The area is well contoured and wooded and adds a different navigational and physical challenge to the moor. The proximity to the Start allows all courses over 4 km to reach this area. Note: As the event is taking place in April and the competition area includes exposed moorland, it's quite possible that cagoules may be made compulsory. Please come prepared........................................................................................................ Map: Scale 1:10,000 with 5m contours. The courses will be overprinted on the maps, which will be printed on waterproof paper.......................................................................................................... Facilities: Toilet in the Assembly Area. Please bring your own water for after your run. There will be a NE Junior Squad cake stall. Please help to support our area's juniors while replenishing the glycogen stores in your leg muscles! If you are willing to contribute some cakes or other home baking, please contact Peter Firth via firth@riscos.org...................................................................................................... Safety: CLOK strongly recommends that you carry a whistle whilst participating in this (and every) orienteering event. A comprehensive risk assessment will have been carried out by the Organiser, but please remember that competitors take part at their own risk. Orienteering is an adventure sport – your safety while orienteering is your own responsibility. Pre-entrants will be asked to provide an emergency contact, and details of any relevant medical conditions, when entering via Fabian4. This information will be treated as confidential and destroyed after this event. If you are entering on the day and have a relevant medical condition please complete a form at Registration. Please make sure that you download even if you do not complete your course............................................................................................................ Insurance: Please note that if you have competed in three orienteering events registered with British Orienteering, and you have not joined an orienteering club which is a member of British Orienteering, then you are not covered by our public liability insurance. |
