TERRAIN:

A wine estate at the foot of the of the Simonsberg Mountain between Paarl and Franschhoek.  Areas of vineyards interspersed with areas of steep slopes as well as thick fynbos.  A network of farm roads, tracks and paths cover the area.  Leg cover is recommended if you decide not to stick to the paths.

COURSES:

1h15 or 2h00 scoring event

The format will be the same as in 2022. There will not be a set route to follow from control to control. Instead, you must visit as many controls as you can within a set time limit, following your own planned route, and accumulating points for each control visited. The points vary, with the control most difficult to reach, worth the most points. If a control is close to the start and is easily accessible then it will be worth fewer points. It is important to get back before your time limit expires as there are hefty point penalties for being late. You do not need to visit each control. This is why navigation, route planning and strategy are so important in this format of the sport.

Please note that strictly no dogs are allowed at this event
