SAFETY NOTES:

Please come prepared to carry equipment, food and drink appropriate to the weather conditions on the day.

All competitors on Short, Medium and Long courses must carry - whistle, compass, hat, gloves and full waterproofs (trousers and top with hood).

Shorts may be worn, but come prepared for more inclement weather, as the organiser may make full leg cover mandatory on the day.

A mobile phone is recommended but not compulsory.

There will be kit checks.

You must report and download your SI card when you finish or if you retire, so we have an electronic record as well as a manual record.

All competitors are reminded that if another competitor is injured or in difficulty they must stop and offer assistance - this is more important than your result.
