Virtual Orienteering Safety Aspects
As with any countryside activity, there are various hazards that you need to be aware of and you need to take action to avoid these to remain safe. These include :
Slippery paths/slopes, especially where steps (wet leaves and perhaps ice), and uneven surfaces including tree roots.
Large crags/cliffs and other rock features. (particularly Williamson Park)
Lakes and ponds – slippery margins.
Prickly vegetation.
Branches/twigs
Moving vehicles in public car parks and access roads
Members of public, dog walkers, cyclists – please avoid and be courteous to.
Corona Virus
Please remember to stay safe when undertaking any type of orienteering - and to stay within the government's guidelines on social distancing - these courses are provided as an opportunity for us to individually (or in families) enjoy a small bit of our sport again.
We hope that you enjoy the ability to use these maps, but please be mindful of your own health and others', we ask that you will:
heed the current government restrictions for example if you have a pre-existing medical condition
keep yourself safe, but also be aware and keep any members of the general public safe, so handwashing/cleaning is important and do consider this as technical training, not a race - always give people you encounter 2m of space - if you need to divert or stop and wait, please do so
support the government's efforts to manage the infection.
