Rally
Format:
The event uses traditional ‘plot
'n' bash’
style of navigation used on
road rallies.
Competitors are issued
with this information at the start, which they then have to
decode to enable them to follow a predetermined route set at a maximum
average speed of 30 mph or less.
Manned time controls are located along the way and penalties collected
for arriving too early or too late at these locations, or missing them
completely.
Route checks such as code boards are also used to ensure that they are
following the correct route between time controls.
The types of navigation used during the event typically
includes:
Experts:
Map extracts, tulips, 8 figure map references, map features, grid lines,
spot heights, herringbones, compass points and map features (e.g.
bridges, watercourses).
Newcomers/Novices:
Map extracts, tulips, 6 figure map references and map features.
