Procedures

In accordance with the informality of the event the organisers will not require you to deposit your receiver in a pound before the transmitters start sending. They do expect you to respect the spirit of this concession by refraining from using your receiver until reporting to officials in the start area and then only under their supervision.
The 'flags'for the competition will be 15cm side length.
Safety
Competitors are responsible for their own safety and take part at their own risk. No smoking in the forest. Whistles should be carried (the emergency signal is 6 blasts repeated at 1 minute intervals).
There is a road which has to be crossed twice during the competition. Please take the normal care in crossing this road and remember that wearing headphones means that you might not hear oncoming traffic. The road crossings are unmanned and you are free to cross at any point you choose and which you regard as a safe place to cross.BR>
Loan Equipment
Receivers for 3.5MHz are available on loan at no extra cost (unless you lose the receiver, when the cost is £40). E-Mail the organiser (address below) to reserve.
