Street-O event – Raynes Park

Tuesday 17 April 2007

The final street orienteering event of SLOW winter series will be held in Raynes Park on Tuesday 17th April. Format will be the usual 45 or 60 minute score event, with start times between 7 and 8 pm (ish). Please remember to bring a pen. A torch should not be necessary as you should only need to run along well-lit streets and footpaths. If you start early, you can finish while it is still daylight. Refreshments and snacks will be provided afterwards.

The event will be hosted by David Harrison at his home: 1 Church Walk, Raynes Park, SW20 9DL. Limited changing and shower facilities will be available. Map link here
