Additional Information
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.
It goes without saying that a headtorch is required, shoes with good grip are recommended, and don’t forget your dibber.
EUOC have some spare dibbers, compasses & headtorches that you can borrow, just send us an email.
Twist – Spanish Score Section
Explanation
This week the long and short courses will contain a spanish score section.
At some point between the start and the finish, the usual linear course will lead you to a box containing several controls. You complete the linear course up to that point as normal and then you may visit the controls in the box in any order you choose (but, like the Spanish, you must visit all of them) before continuing with the remainder of the linear course.
Below is an example of how this will look on the map.
