Map
You will need OS Map of Southport & Chorley: Explorer 285
Parking and Transport:
With over 900 people participating, there isn’t a venue we can secure that can cope with that many cars, so car sharing is vital! Please plan to try to transport the team together, even if this means meeting up and your hut and travelling in fewer cars.
The same applies to the end of the event.
Health Form:
We will need each participant (and marshal/catcher) to complete a health form. These can be found in the downloads section of the website:
Kit List:
A key part of the safety of this event is that people have the correct kit. Please read the kit list (found on the downloads part of the website) and ensure that every team member has the correct kit. There will be kit checks following registration and if someone does not have the correct kit then we will not allow them to take part. A key part is that the boots must have ANKLE SUPPORT so no trainers or approach shoes. They need to be boots with the support.
Do also keep an eye on the weather forecast. The kit list is a good guide, but teams need to be prepared for the conditions and that is the leaders’ responsibility. i.e. if it’s snowing then they might need more warm clothes/drinks etc. or a team might want to take an emergency shelter. Whilst this isn’t essential, it might be useful.

Rules:
It’s really important that everyone but especially Team Leaders understand how the event works and the rules. These are here for the safety of everyone and can be found on the website under the downloads section – https://ormskirkscouts.org.uk/moonlight/downloads-2024/
We want to be clear that all groups must stick to footpaths and should not cross fields or go onto private land.
Catchers/Marshals:
Registration for catchers/marshals remains open and the link is on the website:
We’re looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday 1st for a great event.
