Summer Street Series Event 1
Update: Results are now available. Many thanks to Steven Todkill for jumping in to help out in a time of need and what felt like total confusion. Also I have added the link to the routegadget file for the warmup for those wanting to see that one as well. There are a few unnamed GPS tracks on routgadget and for some staying anonomous might be preferable but if you are having trouble adding your run (either GPA or manual) please contact either

Setter: Whitehead Family
Start: The Park on Loch Ness Drive, Fletcher
Parking: Loch Ness Drive and surrounding streets. Please carpool if possible as the streets are narrow and cars can only park on one side.

Start times: Between 5pm and 6:30pm (with 2 minutes planning time before the start). Course closure at 7:25pm.
We will be using electronic timing which will mean more accurate times and scores, less work for volunteers and fast results publication for competitors. If you have your own SI stick or P Card then please bring it along to all street events, otherwise you can hire a P Card or SI Stick at each event for just $2. P Cards and SI Sticks will also be available for sale.
Important Note: Newcastle Orienteering recommends that all competitors wear bright clothing or reflective gear throughout the season to enable drivers to see you especially if you are running near dusk. Please also take care when crossing roads and use recommended crossing points on busy roads. We also wish to remind competitors that listening to an ipod (or similar) while on course can be a distraction that may cause you to not hear an emergency warning or similar and as such are not allowed during these events for your safety.
