This is a Family "Come and Try It" fun day with four Score event courses available, 20mins, 30 mins, 45 mins and 60 mins, as well as a Club League event. At Registration declare which Time course you intend doing, then once you start the choice of controls to visit is up to you as there is no set order (bearing in mind that differing controls have different points values - there are more points allocated to a control that is further away from the Start/Finish!). The points value for any given control will be displayed in the first column (Column A) of the Control Descriptions - displayed on the front of the map. Remember, if you finish over your time limit you will get penalised 10 points for every minute over. Likewise, if you manage to get all the controls (only likely if going for the 60 mins course) and are under the specified time limit you get Bonus points (10pts for every minute under the time), so remember to wear a watch!

 

Clothing: bring a jacket in case of wet weather! Footwear - trainers should be fine, as the courses are mostly on dry ground at this time of year.

Safety:

Part of the courses will go along a quiet Estate road, so please be aware of any traffic. There is an area marked on the map as "Out of Bounds" (red diagonal lines). This is a old walled garden where the walls have been deemed unsafe. Please give this a wide birth.

Be aware of seasonal vegetation and potential slippery conditions underfoot.

Could be a hot day (start of July), so bring plenty of water with you to avoid dehydration.

Report to the Finish to be ticked off on the Registration sheet, even if you don't complete your course.
