 n\n\n\nTerrain Summary\nCastlewellan Forest Park is dominated by the park
 ’s centrally located lake\, the eastern end of which is mainly typical p
 arkland with scattered mature trees\, the forest carpark and visitor centr
 e\, and a large campground.\n\nMost of the competition terrain will be in 
 mixed hardwood/conifer forest that surrounds the lake and the hill of Slie
 venaslat. Large areas of the forest have recently been cleared and patches
  of rhododendron have been removed.\n\nRemaining areas of forest are of go
 od general run ability although there are many areas of undergrowth (bramb
 les\, nettles etc) especially along path edges and plantation margins.\n\n
 Courses are planned to avoid coming into close contact with the main lake 
 which dominates the ground of the forest.  Keep away from deep water!\n\n
 \nPrevious Maps/Routegadget\nCastlewellan map was last used at the NICS on
  25 June 2022. Previous routegadget map and courses can be found here: htt
 ps://www.lvo.routegadget.co.uk/rg2/#472\n\n\nCourse Notes\n\n\n\n\n\nThe N
 I Night Championships will have the following classes. Competitors can cho
 ose to run up a class\, e.g. an M50 may want to run the Long course but mu
 st then compete as M Open:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse\nClasses\n\n\nLong (app
 rox 4.9k\, 100m climb)\nM/W Open\n\n\nMedium (approx 3.2k. 60m climb)\nM/W
  Vet 45+\,  M Super Vet 55+\n\n\nShort (approx 2.0k\, 25m climb)\nW Super
  vet 55+\, M/W Ultra vet 65+\, M/W16\n\n\n\nNote that If a M/W14 wishes to
  run the NI Night Champs\, they can only do so by being shadowed by an adu
 lt\, and by being therefore non-competitive. LVO has a duty to juniors and
  so no M/W14 can run unaccompanied i.e. run competitively at the NI Night 
 Champs. The adult must be an experienced orienteer holding current club me
 mbership who is capable of shadowing the junior for the entire length of t
 he course.\n\n\n\n\nFirst Aid and Safety\nThere will be a first aid and a 
 qualified first aider available at registration. Registration is also a sa
 fe place for lost juniors to wait.\n\nPlease do not come to the event if y
 ou are unwell.\n\nPlease bring and carry any medication you might need\, e
 specially inhalers and EpiPen’s.\n\nIf you come across an injured or ill
  person\, please stop\, help and get further help. There will likely be qu
 alified first aiders on the course who can stop to provide support.\n\nAll
  participants must return to download\, whether they complete the course o
 r not. This is to account for all competitors\, ensuring everyone’s safe
  return.\n\nCourses will close and controls collected in at 8.30pm sharp. 
 If you are still out on the course at this time return to finish and downl
 oad immediately to prevent the event safety team searching for you.\n\n\nK
 it requirements\nFull body cover is mandatory.\n\nA whistle (emergency ale
 rt is 6 loud blasts per minute) is mandatory.\n\nA waterproof jacket may a
 lso be mandatory if the organisers decide the weather requires one\, so br
 ing one along just in case.\n\nA fully operational and charged head torch 
 is mandatory.\n\nCarrying a mobile phone is advised.  We intend to record
  this mobile number at the start and this will enable event safety officia
 ls to reach out to competitor not returned by course closure.\n\n\nParking
 \nCar parking and download will be in the main carpark in Castlewellan For
 est Park. There is a cost of £5 per car if entering before 5pm on the day
