Teams have 1 hour to locate as many of the orange & white control flags marked on their map and to pin-punch their scorecard to prove that they have visited each location.

Participants can navigate to control flags in whatever order you choose, but remember they are penalised if the last team member returns late! Presentation to winners of different categories shortly after 8:10pm.
