a clue sheet. A box of Red and a box of Green maps that have pre-printed

Red/Green Start. This will be a self-regulated Start: A map can

your start and someone starting ahead of you on the same course.

Chi lodge and campground located within the southern section of

and overflow car parking will be in the large gravel parking area
south the main road – you’ll pass by it on the way to
the main parking/registration area.
Pit toilets are located south of the main parking area and a couple
nearer the campground sites.
