Toilets: There are no toilet facilities at the event, so please bear this in mind.
Start/Finish: These are very close to the parking. The start is at the top of Quarry Road adjacent to the parking and the finish is a short distance along the forest track to the west of the car park. Please avoid congregating around the start area and aim to arrive at the start no more than 5 minutes before your start time. Please always adhere to the 2m rule while waiting.
Terrain: Largely wooded, with a good network of paths and generally good runnability. There is still some undergrowth around, plus tree branches and so on, so full body cover is recommended.

Control descriptions: These are printed on the front of the map. There will be no loose descriptions at the event, but a sheet with the control descriptions on is attached to this e:mail, for you to print out and bring to the event.
Timing: Sportident in Contactless mode (SIAC) but any version of Sportident dibber will work. Note that all dibbers, including SIAC, must be dibbed manually at the Start and the Finish.

Covid-19 procedures: A Covid officer will be present at the event, ensuring that we meet the guidelines; please do not be offended if you are asked to move to give someone else space, or move on after you have finished, or downloaded, etc.
