Safety:
Specifically for this event at Bramcote Hills and The Hemlockstone:
The Hemlock Stone area is very popular with downhill mountain bikers, and their main trails have been marked as out of bounds. However participants are advised to stay alert for cyclists at all times.
There are two timed out road crossings for Short Green, Green, Blue and Brown to allow safe crossing of the main road between Hemlock Stone and main Bramcote Hills area. Take care crossing the road.
Safety bearing - (a) in the main area of Bramcote Hills Park - west or south and follow the roads to the Assembly area. (b) in The Hemlock Stone area - Southeast to Coventry Lane, then via the roads to the Assembly area.

and for all NOC events:
A comprehensive Risk Assessment has been carried out by the organiser.

Participants take part at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety during the event. It is recommended that whistles are carried.

Once you have started a course it is a rule that you don't leave the event without reporting to a download official even if you retire.

The Competitor Safety Slip can be downloaded and brought to the Enquiry Point if you wish to leave medical or emergency contact details. You may place the slip in a sealed envelope labelled with your name and class. The slip will be only accessible to the organiser or first aiders and will be destroyed after the event.

This includes ensuring that courses selected by competitors aged under 18 are suitable for their level of experience.
