(1) Sunday 5th July KILCORAN OPEN MOORLAND


START TIMES: 10:30am - 1pm
PARKING: Parking will be at the side of the old Cork-Dublin road about 1 km on the Cork side of Kilcoran Lodge Hotel.


START: Access to the moorland will be via a gate to the field which is closest to the woods.
The gate will be slightly opened with a low stile to prevent sheep exiting.
The start will be about 200 m (40 m climb) from the gate.
Maps will be rolled and a loose description rolled with it.
If the weather is not dry, the maps will be bagged and the loose descriptions will be in the bag.
Competitors will pick up their map before punching the start and can take some time to get organised with the loose descriptions.
There will be a separate queue for each course and the map boxes will be separated significantly.
The start SI box will be shared so only one competitor / family group must approach it at the time.


REGISTRATION: Registration will be either at the gate or at the start depending on outcome of inspection.
All competitors will be required to supply a contact phone number at time of registration according to COVID-19 guidelines.


Competitors will call out names, course and contact number from outside a taped off area.
Rental SI cards will be available for a competitor to pick up themselves.
There will be no passing of anything to/from registration personnel.
