Additional Information
As usual there will be no SI boxes at controls. You only need to punch the start and finish.
Maps will not be printed on waterproof paper, so if the weather is looking damp, please bring a map bag / polly pocket if you have one. There may be some at assembly.
As always, these events are at night in winter so come prepared: Torches, layers, shoes with grip (if location deems it).
EUOC have some spare compasses, dibbers and a few headtorches which you can borrow if needed – just let us know by sending us an email.
There may be artificial barriers out on the courses. The barriers will not be marked on the ground and thus it is up to you to make sure you abide by them. See an example of barriers in play below.
