spares at assembly.
Additional Info:
As usual, there will be no SI boxes at controls. You only need to punch at the start and finish.
It goes without saying that a headtorch is required, shoes with good grip are a must, and don’t forget your dibber!
EUOC have some spare compasses, dibbers and a few headtorches which you can borrow if needed – just let us know.
Whilst no one will be playing golf, Braids is a popular area for dog-walking and running. As such, so please be respectful of the public.
The courses have been planned to avoid infringement with the WOC 2024 Embargo. You can find out exactly where the embargo is here.
