Will there be traders at the event where I can buy equipment?

Yes, there will be a trader who supplies orienteering equipment; this will be an excellent opportunity to upgrade your o-kit.

Will dogs be allowed in assembly areas?

The Lake District is sheep country; many of the landowners whose land we run and park on are dependent on sheep. No dogs in the competition areas. Well behaved dogs on a lead are welcome in car parks; owners are expected to clean up after them.

Motorhomes

Many of the approach roads to some of the race sites are narrow and winding with dry stone walls on both sides...

Only small camper vans can be accommodated in Parking fields due to narrow approaches.

Will start times be allocated for colour coded competitors?

No, start times will be open for colour coded competitors.
