Courses:
The usual range of NWNL courses i.e. Orange, Green and Blue. The day event on Sunday 13th November uses some of the same control sites but the courses are all different to the night courses.
Controls (including the finish) are in beacon mode so they can be punched contactlessly if you have a SIAC. This does not apply to the dibbers available for hire.

A country park with a good path network. Some mature woodland and open areas with good contour detail in places.

The Start is close to the parking area. Only go to the start just prior to starting.
Remember to:
- Clear and check your dibber
- Physically punch the start and then pick up your map from the box provided (please ensure you only take one). Yellow maps may be available for juniors to look at before punching the start.

Safety:
There are exposed tree roots and stone pathways which can become slippery when wet. The perimeter road is crossed on the longer courses (Green and Blue). Take care when crossing this road which is one-way (clockwise) and drivers may not be expecting to see runners.
You must report to the finish and download after the event, even if you retire.
Waterproof jackets will be made compulsory if conditions require it. Runners are required to carry a spare torch and whistle.
Social Distancing and Other Covid Related Precautions
We will be following BOF’s current COVID guidelines but trust everyone will be using their common sense to ensure that all competitors and the public are as safe as possible. Please maintain social distancing and adhere to the British Orienteering Participant Code of Conduct.
