Registration at the Tent Peg Lane car park(off crest View Drive). Sat Nav co-ordinates are N51.39173 E0.06938. No toilets. Short walk to Petts Wood station.
Start time and registration. A mass start at 11.30. Please visit registration between 10.45 and 11.15 to buy a map and hire a dibber (which records your time electronically) if you don’t already have one. You will be given your orienteering map at registration so you can plan your route and ask any questions.
Timing, prizes and league. After you have finished and returned your dibber, you will be given a printout showing your times between the controls. You will score 1 point for every control you found, and 1 point deducted for every minute or part minute you are late. We will aim to announce the winners in various age/sex categories within 20 minutes of the finish and maybe present some prizes. There will also be a league with the best 2 scores out of 5 counting, and results displayed on our website.
What equipment do you need? Nothing special. Old trainers if it looks muddy, something waterproof if wet. A compass is useful but not essential.
Fees: Adults £4, Juniors FREE, Family/group competing together £4, Dibber Hire £1, Extra maps £1.
Help for beginners: Please ask at registration where club members can help you. If you have any questions before the event please email newcomers@dfok.co.uk
