The Challenge
Within the time allowed (3 hours), visit controls and collect as many points as possible – route planning is as important as fitness. Lateness penalties as per standard TCA rules. Control sites will be identified by bright coloured tape on an obvious feature to which a SPORTident box will be attached. ”Dib” in the SPORTident box at the Start, Finish, all controls visited and THE DOWNLOAD BOX at the end! You must use a SPORTident dibber to take part in these events – control cards will not be used. You may use your own dibber if you have one (please fill in its number on the entry form). Alternatively we will rent you one automatically. Teams please note: both members must carry and use a dibber.
