The Area<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\n\t

The area permitted for us to use is only the eastern half of Lydney Park estate not the full area which was previously used for orienteering, about 10years ago.<\/p>\n

The management of the woods has been affected by disease of various types, and cutting out affective parts of the woods has opened up the access of light in a patchwork kilt fashion and the corresponding undergrowth. The complexity of old iron working is just the same, but great care should be taken as many black pit symbols on the map are shafts of varying depths. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Map<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\n\t

This is printed on waterproof paper at 1:10,000, A4 size, with 5m contours. Control descriptions will be printed on the front of the map and will also be available loose at the Start.<\/p>\n

There are 3 compulsory road crossing affecting the Brown and Blue runners.<\/p>\n

The main crossing Control 69 will be manned remember to dib the control going out and coming back.<\/p>\n

The other two crossing are unmanned on a quiet road, but are still compulsory. <\/p>\n

The fence which the crossings go through are out of bounds and marked on the map as a solid purple line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t
Start and Finish<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\n\t

The Start is a 600m walk from Assembly with 25m climb - allow 10 minutes. <\/p>\n

The Finish is 300m back to Assembly and down load with zero climb. <\/p>\n

There are three start lanes \u2013 Brown\/Blue, Both Greens, and Orange, with Yellow runners picking up their maps and starting when ready, independently of the start procedure. You can move into the first start box, where Clear and Check are located, if there is no one waiting for your lane before you. In that event, please queue appropriately for your start lane. <\/p>\n

Touch Free punching is enabled, but all runners must punch both Start and Finish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
