| Terrain Summary | The college grounds cover approximately 100 acres, the majority of which is taken up by the many sports pitches. There are also extensive wooded areas with various levels of undergrowth. Significant areas of laurel bush have been cleared over the past 18 months, making these areas more runnable. Note that there is construction work ongoing on some college buildings but this should not unduly affect route choice. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Previous Maps/Routegadget | The map has been used for Cadet Force events but this is the first time it has hosted an LVO event. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Course Notes | 🟡 Short – approx 1.9 km 🟠 Long – approx 3.4 kmAll club members are welcome at the Wilson home for refreshments after the event- this is located beside control 100. |

| First Aid and Safety | Watch out for other park users.
There will be a first aid and a qualified first aider available at registration. Registration is also a safe place for lost children to wait. Please do not come to the event if you are unwell. Please bring and carry any medication you might need, especially inhalers and EpiPen’s. If you come across an injured or ill person, please stop, help and get further help. There will likely be qualified first aiders on the course who can stop to provide support. All participants must return to download, whether they complete the course or not. This is to account for all competitors, ensuring everyone’s safe return. Courses 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 download immediately. |

| Kit requirements | Although some areas are overgrown with nettle & brambles these are generally avoided on the courses, hence full leg cover should be considered optional. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Toilets | Toilets available in the Longfield Pavilion near the start & finish areas. |
