Details
Safety & risk
A comprehensive risk assessment will have been carried out by the organiser, but participants take part at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety during the event. If a competitor has a pre-existing medical condition that they think should be declared, please complete a medical form at enquiries. The sealed envelope will only be opened in an emergency.
Photography
SYO has an agreed policy on the taking of photographs at events, based on national guidance. This provides a sensible balance between the benefits and risks associated with the taking and use of images. If you are unsure about acceptable practice, please speak to the event organiser. Read our photography policy.

Venue
The area is entirely covered with mixed birch natural woodland. It slopes from east to west towards the River Don and is bisected by the Woodhead railway. There are a number of minor paths but no forest roads.
The orienteering interest is provided by the remnants of past industrial usage in the form of old mining and quarrying. These provide a myriad of very intricate contour and rock details. Hence the need to map at 1:5,000. There is also quite a lot of rock underfoot in places requiring care. During winter most of the area is very runnable but there are areas of bramble growth, particularly in the north. This is shown with the undergrowth screen, but leg protection is strongly recommended.
