Event Description
Score Training 1 – Barnett Demesne and Forest.
This is the first of two training activities, (i.e. not formal, so no results published), to help prepare us for the LVO Club Score Champs on Sunday 13 February.
Score events do not have a fixed course but a fixed time (45 minutes) to collect as many controls as you possibly can choosing your own route within the time limit.
There is a ‘mass’ start – everyone starts at the same time and so, in theory, should all finish together 45 minutes later – so it is a fun, social event. The start will still be a punch start, and there will be a punch finish.
Meeting
Parking, registration and briefing will be at the main Car park at Malone House.
Register/pay from 1:30pm.
Start briefing will be at 1:50pm sharp, before walking to the start.
Kit and Clothing
All the usual kit, full body cover, compass plus a watch to keep an eye on your timing. Every minute (or part of a minute) late will have a 10 point deduction.
Studded shoes are recommended due to the slippery slopes and leaf accumulations.
If weather is poor a whistle and waterproof coat may be mandatory.
Entry
If you intend to go, please message Ric Gamble chairperson@lvo.org.uk by Thursday 12 Jan, for the correct number of maps to be printed.
Payment will be ‘on the day’ – cost includes map and SI dibber (electronic timing) hire. Please bring correct change if possible.
Note:
- Map bags may not be available, so if you have one, please bring your own waterproof map cover.
- Lost dibbers are charged at replacement cost £30
