Street-O: 8 February 2011
The sixth Street-O race of the season takes place in Clerkenwell. This area fits between LOK’s West End map and SLOW’s street map of the City of London. In the south the area covers Lincoln’s Inn Fields and the surrounding maze of small roads and to the north the area covers Clerkenwell and Finsbury.
Please RSVP to the event on Facebook to let us know you are coming – you can also see who else is coming here and post queries. Like all our street-Os, this a public race – all are welcome.

Race Format
The normal Street O format; you have 60 minutes to visit as many controls as possible, in any order, and return to the finish. Don’t forget to bring a pen to write down your answers to the clues as you go around, and a watch (both essential!). All clues will be visible under street lights (you may find it helpful to have a small torch or mini headlamp, but certainly not required). General information about street orienteering.
Safety
Fluorescent clothing is recommended for safety. As with all Street-O races, you will need to cross roads with traffic during the race, some of which may be busy – take extreme care when crossing all roads. All competitors take part at their own risk. YOU MUST REPORT BACK TO THE FINISH AFTER YOUR RUN (EVEN IF YOU DECIDE TO GIVE UP) SO THAT WE DO NOT GO OUT LOOKING FOR YOU!
Post-Race
The pub’s speciality is sausages. Full details. Food is served at the pub until 10pm and the bar stays open until 11:30pm – so there will be plenty of time to feed and water yourself after the race!
Results
Results will be available on the SLOW website shortly after the event, along with overall results for the Street-O series so far.
