The Street-O format has clues located at various points on a simple map of the street network. You have 60 minutes (time trial format, i.e. starting at intervals) to visit as many of these as possible, in any order, and return to the finish. Some controls have higher points scores than others. Ensure that you allow enough time to get back to the finish to avoid heavy penalties on your score. This guide provides general information about street orienteering.

Don’t forget to bring a pen to write down your answers to the clues as you go around, an SI card if you have one, and a watch so that you aren’t late back! You may find a torch/head-torch and compass useful too, although many don’t take one.

All competitors take part at their own risk. You MUST be over 16 to take part in this event, unless you are accompanied by a parent or guardian. This is a condition of our insurance.

Results will be available on the SLOW website shortly after the event. Check the 2015-16 series page for more information.
