Start times - any time between 18:30 and 20:00 - just turn up and go when you're ready. Earlier starters will have the benefit of running their race completely in daylight.

Travel - The nearest Docklands Light Railway (DLR) station is Island Gardens, about 2 minutes away on foot. The nearest National Rail station is Greenwich, from which it is a 15-20 minute walk via Maritime Greenwich and the Greenwich Foot Tunnel. The event is also accessible by boat - The Thames Clippers commuter service from central London goes via Masthouse Terrace Pier which is a five minute walk fro the event.

Race format - standard Street-O format - you have 60 minutes to visit as many controls as possible, in any order, and return to Finish. Don't forget to bring a watch (essential!) and a pen to write down your answers to the "clues" as you go around.

Safety - be careful when crossing any busy roads. You may wish to wear fluorescent clothing. However, much of the race will be in daylight.

Cost - £1 to cover the waterproof map printing.

Food & drink - food is available until 9pm and the bar will be open - the pub manager has indicated he can be flexible as regards last food order times.

Results - will be posted to http://www.sloweb.org.uk/.
