Details
Description:
1 Hour night score event. 30 controls. With varying points. Penalty 1 point lost for each 6 seconds or part there-of over the hour. Bonuses at the same rate if you get all the controls under the hour. There will be 8 controls which form a Yellow/Orange standard loop suitable for less experienced night competitors.
All competitors take part at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety. ‘No whistle, no go’ will be in force. You need to have a spare light for night events. In the event of bad weather cagoules may be compulsory. Please come prepared.
Map: 1:7500 scale. 5M contours. Revised 2022 with some recent updates. Overprinted with course on A3 waterproof paper. Control descriptions will be printed on the map and loose descriptions available from registration.
Terrain: Mixed woodland with mixed runnability and a small area of complex old quarry workings and open area near Tyndale Monument, there is some areas of brambles and brashings which are marked on the map with green hash and can be avoided. There is a very complex path network which will add to the challenge. There are some steep slopes which may be slippery. There are plenty of mountain bike tracks in the woods (including an area of downhill tracks), with new ones appearing regularly. These are in the main mapped but may not be if particularly new.
Full leg cover is compulsory.
