Course information
Start & Finish: Nearby.
Timing (Start/Finish): SI.
Each individual or team will require one Dibber (collect at registration/download if hired), one clue/answer sheet (collect at registration/download) and one course map (issued at the Start). Plus pen/pencil and a watch. Example maps and clue sheets of previous events will be available to view at the event centre.
Scoring: Controls are numbered 10 to 64. The first digit multiplied by 10 is the score value. Thus there are 10 x 10 points controls, 10 x 20, 10 x 30, 10 x 40, 10 x 50 and 5 x 60. Typically, the higher the score value, the greater the distance and/or difficulty.
Penalties: Your course time limit is either 75 minutes or 60 minutes depending on which course you entered. Thereafter, 1 penalty point will be deducted for each 3 seconds you are late, equivalent to 20 points deducted per minute late.
Sunset will be 18:18, so a head torch and high-vis clothing will be required.
Pre-existing medical conditions: What you should do.
