Safety Notes

Participation is at your own risk. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.  Bring clothing and footwear appropriate for the weather conditions. High visibility clothing is strongly recommended. Some paths have uneven and slippery surfaces. The paving slabs on the eastern side of the map are in a very poor state. There is also a wooded area which has additional trip hazards and overhanging branches. TAKE CARE! 

As with any urban orienteering which requires participants to cross the road, you are asked to take due care and pay attention at all times. The busy main road on the east edge of the map has no footpath and is strictly out of bounds as marked. There may be dog walkers, cyclists, scooters or residents on pavements and footpaths. Please be aware and give them priority.
