Mandatory Equipment: Everyone must wear suitable footwear & Hi-vis clothing and carry a map, waterproof map case, pen/pencil, compass, whistle, emergency clothing/equipment, full waterproof body cover and additional suitable warm clothing for the weather conditions. You must also carry a fully charged head-torch with spare batteries, and a working, fully charged, mobile phone. In addition, cyclists must also wear helmets and have fixed front and rear lights on a suitable, fully road legal bike.

These orienteering sessions are social gatherings, and not races or formal events, at which everyone participates at their own risk. All participants must be competent navigators, and be medically and physically capable of completing the course.

Whilst the events are not races, but social individual time trial events, there are goodies up for grabs. You never know, you might even be awarded the Spam Trophy! As this isn’t a formal event, but a social gathering, there is no insurance cover in place. It is up to those taking part to ensure they have personal and property liability insurance in place, if felt required.
