How to find Events?

Signs are placed at the locations described in the orienteering programme to direct participants to the event assembly area. You should expect to encounter one or more of the following signs:
O TURN
200 METRES
 This sign is sometimes placed before a turn off to warn the driver that the turn-off is approaching.
ORIENTEERING
This is the sign usually placed at the location described in the programme. It should be readily visible to the driver of a car. The arrow points in the direction to travel.
This sign is placed along the route, when an intersection or other choice of direction is required, to indicate which direction to travel. It is sometimes also placed along a long section to provide reassurance that you are travelling in the right direction.
