Information about how to keep yourself and your children safe at an event can be found here. \nWhistles: Carrying a whistle is strongly recommended at all our events and may be made compulsory by the organiser depending on identified risks and conditions. \nSIACs: Note that in contactless mode no record of a SIAC “punch” is held in the control box. By using contactless punching\, competitors are accepting the resulting risk that we may take longer to find them if they are lost or injured. \nCovid Prevention: Please adhere to the British Orienteering Code of Conduct and take care to allow others to maintain social distance if they wish. \nTicks: Please be aware that ticks are common across many of the areas we run in and can carry infections such as Lyme Disease and Tick-Borne Encephalitis. This is why the rules of orienteering say that you MUST wear full leg and abdomen cover in the forest. Full arm cover is also recommended. Please check for ticks after running and seek medical advice if you develop flu like symptoms or a spreading circular rash after being bitten. There is an excellent government leaflet here. \nInsurance: All of our events are registered with British Orienteering and are covered by their public liability insurance; individuals are advised to consider their own private accident insurance. \nPlease note that the insurance only covers those registered as being part of the event so if you are taking part as a group or are accompanying / shadowing a child please make sure you register the names of everyone taking part as you sign up. \nPrivacy: when participating in our events/activities your name may appear in the results section of this website or in newspaper reports. Read our data protection page to see how we look after your personal data.
