COURSE SETTER'S NOTES:

Tracks

Mapped tracks are generally quite clear. Hard 1 & 2 courses please note some sections of track in the southern part of the map are less clear.

Fences

The start is located at a gate. Please leave the gate how you find it.

All courses have at least one fence crossing. All fences are plain wire so please go through them not over. Where a crossing point is marked, please use it.

Vegetation

Like everywhere else growth has been strong the last few years. In most parts visibility remains average for forest events. In some gullies and on southern slopes growth is stronger so visibility is less.

Taping

The Easy and Very Easy courses have 2 taped legs including from the last control to the finish. Please follow the tapes.

Water

There will be no water on courses. There will be water at the finish only.

Safety Bearing

Safety bearing is north to Dicks Creek Road or the lane east of the assembly.
