[Sorry - I’m sending to all MDOC to make sure I don’t miss anyone]

For those who are attending the contour training on Sunday:

After a recce last week I’ve decide to keep ALL the training in the same part of the map and NOT move to the 2^nd rendezvous mentioned at Cant Clough. i.e. we’ll stay in the area just to the E of Hurstwood.

The attached map shows the general car park area, the walk to the SE corner of Hurstwood reservoir which is where we’ll meet at 11:00. Our early activities will move us to the area marked with the finish circles. We’ll remain around there for the rest of the day so anyone not arrived by 11:00 should head up there.

Additional information:

· Please bring plenty of warm layers as there’ll be some standing around and the area is quite exposed although last time I looked the weather wasn’t supposed to be too bad.

· Make sure you have wind/waterproof layers

· Bring food and drink (warm might be a good idea) - it’ll likely be best to bring all this up to the Rendezvous rather than leave it in your car as we’ll be based about 900m uphill away from the car park.

· Eddie will be printing some maps on waterproof paper, but if you could bring a couple of map bags anyway I might find a use for them.

Can you also please let me know if you have any medical conditions that be relevant.

My mobile phone number is 07736 207970 in case you need it.

BTW, I have the following down as attending from MDOC (there are also a few from PFO), please let me know if your name is on it and you aren’t coming, or you are and it isn’t as I want to get map numbers to Eddie soon. Also, if you don’t know me then I probably don’t know you so can you give me an idea in advance of your orienteering level, especially w.r.t. technical contour work.
