2007 British Schools Orienteering Championships Dorset 2007 British Schools Orienteering Championships Dorset Final Details 17th/18th November 2007 Cold Harbour, Wareham Forest Gore Heath, Wareham Forest Crane’s Moor, Bovington Organised by Sarum Orienteering Club and Wimborne Orienteers With assistance from Wessex Orienteering Club Supported by British Orienteering and the British Schools Orienteering Association Final Details Saturday 17th November –Training Event - Cold Harbour – ISSF Championships Qualification Race – Gore Heath Sunday 18th November – British Schools Championships 2007 – Crane’s Moor General Notes Enclosures In the packs sent to schools you will find: A start list for your school for the Qualification Race (if appropriate). Final details for the Training Event, Qualification Race and Championships. Start list for your school for the Championships. One blank map of the Sunday competition area (the final map will NOT have the key and travel directions/car parks marked on it). Details of the overnight accommodation if booked. Cancellation It is very unlikely that we will need to cancel any of these events but if you are concerned about cancellation please check the BSOA website at www.bsoa.org. Safety Whilst we will do everything we can to make this event as safe as possible, competitors do take part at their own risk. It is the team leaders responsibility to ensure that competitors are properly prepared for the event and have been made aware of the event procedures, particularly in relation to safety, and clothed in a manner suiting the conditions on the day. No shorts – full leg protection is required. In the event of bad weather, cagoules may be compulsory – please come prepared. Notices will be put up at assembly. We will, of course, be monitoring the time that runners spend in the forest, but please help us by letting us know if you are concerned about one of your team. We would ask you to emphasise to your competitors that parts of the courses on Sunday enter an army training area and they must not touch or pick up any unusual objects. There is also barbed wire in some areas and other man made obstacles such as slit trenches. Competitors should not climb on military vehicles which are on the area, no matter how inviting the experience may be. We have full permission to be in the area and signs saying 'danger keep out' and the like can be ignored on the competition map. However competitors should not cross barbed wire apart from at marked crossing points Photos As in previous years, there will be officials taking photos in several places around the weekend’s events, so that they can be placed on the BSOA web site. There will be no names or ages attached. Should anyone want a child excluded from such photos, please let us know their names and ways in which we’ll be able to identify them in order to satisfy the request. Any other persons wishing to take photographs will need to give their details to Enquiries. Punching For the Training Event and Championships - Electronic SI control boxes will be mounted on an aluminium stake, along with an orienteering kite and the control code. For the Selection Race - green electric fence posts will be used with the Electronic SI control boxes side mounted. As a back-up device, all controls also have a pin punch attached to the stake, so that if the control box fails and does not beep and flash when “dibbed”, the runner can punch their map with the pin punch in one of the boxes provided. IT IS THE COMPETITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY TO REGISTER ACCURATELY AND COMPLETELY AT ALL CONTROLS. Rulings on mispunching, etc, possibly due to “dibbing” too quickly, have been strictly applied at a number of high-profile events, and these Championships are no different. There are many controls in the forest, and runners can expect to see some that are not on their course. Please make sure control codes are checked carefully. If, however, a competitor does mistakenly “dib” a control that is not theirs, this will not matter, as long as they also “dib” at all the right controls, in the right order. Maps All maps for the weekend’s events are 1:10000 with 5m contours and will be overprinted with the appropriate course and written control descriptions. The legend will not appear on the map. For the Selection Race and Championships the maps will be printed on waterproof paper – for the Training event printed on paper. Separate control descriptions will be available at start or those who require them. Legends are only on the maps supplied to schools in the final details. Trophies If your school holds any of the trophies from last year, please return them to Enquiries on Saturday or Sunday as early as possible. Competition Areas All competition areas are strictly OUT OF BOUNDS to all teachers and parents, and to competitors except when actually racing. Infringement of this risks the disqualification of your whole team. If you are concerned about the non-appearance of one of your team, please talk to the organising team rather than try to find them yourselves. Officials Saturday Selection: Planner Ben Chesters; Organisers Di and John Tilsley; Controller John Warren. Saturday Training: Planners Charlotte Duncan and Ricky Thornton; Organiser Ian Sayer; Controller Andy Thornton. Sunday Championships: Planners Kirsty Staunton and Lynn Branford; Organiser Pat Hart; Controllers Ian and Caroline Moran Road Problems A large section of the A351 at Sandford, between Wareham and Lytchett Minster (Poole outskirts), is closed for 3 weeks from 1st November and we anticipate this will cause problems. Please plan your routes and approach for both Saturday and Sunday with care. The best approach route for both Saturday and Sunday is from Bere Regis to the north using the A35. Training Event - Saturday 17th November 2007 Cold Harbour, Wareham Forest, Dorset Grid Reference : SY 906896 This event is being kindly run by Wessex Orienteering Club with assistance from SARUM and Wimborne Orienteers. Travel The venue can be approached from the north via the A35 near Bere Regis or from the south via A351 and Wareham railway station. Do not forget that parts of the A351 are closed at Sandford. Parking is at the Forestry Commission Offices at Cold Harbour (not the FC car park) Terrain Cold Harbour is a mainly runnable Dorset forest and heathland, with a good path network. Parking is on hard standing at the Forestry Commission centre (not the public car park) Facilities will include - Toilets, 1st Aid, Enquiries, and traders will be Wilfs and Ultrasport. Starts and finish will be close to the parking area . There is no clothing dump or transfer. Map and Control Descriptions A five colour map of the area of 1:10 000 scale with 5m contour interval will be overprinted with the controls. Control descriptions will be issued on registration. Plastic bags will be available. Courses Training event – 2 each of White, Yellow and Orange; 1 each of Light Green and Green colour coded courses.

Cost Training event: Juniors £2.00 (including junior pairs) No adult runs. You may do as many courses as you wish. Training event commences at 11.00 am. Courses close at 3.30pm when controls will be collected in. Selection Race - Saturday 17th November 2007 Gore Heath, Wareham Forest, Dorset Grid Reference : SY 922909 This information should be read in conjunction with the information titled ‘BSOA Qualification Races for the ISF World Schools Meeting – Scotland – April 2008 Parking All parking is at Cold Harbour. Terrain Gore Heath is a very runnable Dorset forest with detailed and intricate contoured areas and a good path network. Accurate map work will be essential. Facilites All facilities are at Cold Harbour Parking is on hard standing at the Forestry Commission centre at Cold Harbour (not the public car park) Parking facilities at Gore Heath are almost non-existant. Facilities at Cold Harbour will include - Toilets, 1st Aid, Enquiries, and traders will be Wilfs and Ultrasport. Competitors will be taken from Cold Harbour to Gore Heath by minibus. No parents or teachers are allowed to accompany competitors. This is because of limited transport capacity, and more importantly, there is NO additional parking available for parents/teachers near the Start /Finish. There is only sufficient space for the official minibuses delivering competitors to turn off the road & safely deliver/collect them. To have any other vehicles trying to stop & park would be extremely dangerous for all concerned. Please adhere strictly to this guidance. The officials at the Start & Finish are concerned with ensuring a fair Selection Race & the safety of the competitors. Competitors are reminded that as this is a selection race for the World Schools Meeting it is forbidden to take maps with them to the competition area (failure to comply with this will result in instant disqualification for both the competitor and team). There will be toilets and first aid at the start and finish at Gore Heath. Clothing dump - Please bring a carrier bag to put clothing for transfer in & ensure it is clearly marked with your name. Starts will be close to the minibus drop off point. There will be a clothing dump and transfer to the finish. Competitors will have a warm-up map with a few practice controls in the warm-up area.

Survey approaches include interviews, counts of visitors and counts of parked cars. Face to face interviews: Face to face interview work was carried out in two pulses (May/June and August/September) over 48 days, totalling 672 hours of survey time. Each of the 21 survey locations (7 in each case study area) was covered on a week day and a weekend day in term time and then again during the school holidays with 32 hours of survey time at each location. In total, 677 groups were interviewed, comprising 1539 people and 526 dogs, the equivalent of one dog to every 2.9 people. June and August were the busiest survey months with 80% of interviews conducted in these two months. The most interviews were collected in the Wareham Forest / Gore Heath area; 49.3% compared to 21.3% at Arne Peninsula and 29.4% at Greenlands area. Counts of people: 3033 groups were recorded as either entering or leaving the survey points, comprising 5241 adults, 889 children, 2251 dogs and 1597 cyclists. These totals equate to 9 groups, 15.6 adults and 7 dogs per hour. The busiest site overall was the Sika Trail car park, with around 14% of all groups entering or leaving being recorded here.

(2008). Nature Conservation Representations to the Secretary of State with regard to the Regional Spatial Strategy Proposed Changes on behalf of Purbeck District Council. Unpublished report by Footprint Ecology & David Tyldesley & Associates. Commissioned by Purbeck District Council. 2 Nature Conservation Representations to the Secretary of State with regard to the Regional Spatial Strategy Proposed Changes on behalf of Purbeck District Council Summary This report to Purbeck District Council assembles the evidence to enable an assessment to be made of the impacts of a settlement expansion for 2,750 dwellings near Lytchett1, so that a response can be made by the Council to the Secretary of State on the proposed changes to the SW RSS. The extensive and possibly unique degree of biodiversity and landscape designations in Purbeck is reviewed and the occurrence of a large number of rare or protected species is noted. The difficulty of providing for additional new homes in this sensitive area is underlined. In particular, the proximity of Area of Search 7B to sites carrying both national and international designations is considered, and a critique of the Habitats Regulations Assessment of the RSS, in particular in relation to SE Dorset and Purbeck District, is provided.
