The November SLOW street orienteering event of the 2009-10 series will be held in Hinchley Wood on Tuesday 10 November.

Start times - turn up to start any time between 7 and 8pm.

Race format - the normal Street-O format - you have 60 minutes to visit as many controls as possible, in any order, and return to Finish. Points vary from 10 to 40 per control. There is a 1 point penalty for every 3 seconds late back after your hour. Don't forget to bring a watch (essential!) and a pen to write down your answers to the "clues" as you go around. A head torch is strongly advised - footpaths and alleys are not well lit (this is Surrey, not London!)

Safety - be careful when crossing any busy roads. You may wish to wear fluorescent clothing.
