Competitors need to be aware of an abundance of spider

webs throughout the competition area. The spiders them-

selves are m

ostly small, certainly harm

less, but the pres-

ence of the webs/spiders m

ight im

pact on running speed.

If you shout "go the knights", or for those aficionados of the

round ball game "go the jets", the spiders have agreed to

allow runners to pass. Some orienteers probably won't en-

joy this situation too m

uch, but look forward to the fact that

this is, overall, a terrific area for orienteering.
