After the snow showers during the day the skies cleared and we were treated to a beautiful sunset from the start area whilst waiting for it to get dark enough.  Thank you to Matthew Pickering for planning and organising and to Joe, Pippa and Dom for helping collect controls.

COVID Guidance for competitors & volunteers

Some key points from the code of conduct:

• You must not take part in any form of orienteering if you or any member of your household have had recent Covid-19 symptoms.
• Minimise contact with people from outside your household before, during and after your run.  Practise social distancing at all times, including before and after your run as well as when you are out on your course.  Take particular care to keep the required distance from other people in the vicinity of the Start, at download and when passing other competitors or members of the public on narrow paths, going through gates, etc.
• Do not congregate in groups greater than 6 at the event.
• Sanitise your hands before and after your run.
• Do not touch the controls. If using a SIAC dibber hover your hand above the SI unit. If dibbing, just place the dibber in the hole, without touching the box.
• Please be super courteous to any members of the public that you come across before, during or after the event.
