Final Details
The main parking field next to the barn is churned up in the entrance. 4x4's only will turn left into this field. Cars straight forward.
Ogden. A delightful woodland with good path network for
junior courses, but nevertheless challenging and intricate for the experts.
Longer courses will venture onto the moorland around the wind turbines.

Car Park and Assembly Area. Due to large numbers of
visitors to Ogden Water at the weekends, we are again making alternative
parking arrangements. All parking on the day, Registration, Download,

to Orienteers. Families with young children and older competitors
may use the single minibus to get to the start, and

20mins along footpaths and lanes. There will be a £1 parking fee
per car. The Milner Family of Holly House Farm are again donating
all money raised to the Caistor Voluntary Lifeboat Service. And the farmer
who owns the overflow field is giving his money to the Chapel.

Safety:. Competitors take part at their own risk, and
must bring a cagoule in case the controller deems them to be compulsory
due to weather conditions. A notice to this effect will be displayed in
the car park field. The Controller indicates that as the event will take
place on exposed moorland he strongly suggests all competitors dress accordingly
and carry a caguole. Whistles are advisable. We are using the 'Buddy' system,
not stubs. Make
sure you have a reliable buddy who will raise the alarm if you
appear to be very late finishing. Lone competitors who
cannot find a buddy must leave their car keys and car registration number
at the information and enquiries desk.
Cancellation: If the weather is dodgy for any reason check
EPOC’s website- www.eastpennineoc.org.uk or
