meters. While the SIAC card gives a feedback (beepand flash), it’s blocked and can’t register another

control. The standard feedback is 3 seconds, but in

some cases, it may be set to 5 seconds, meaning thatyou may not get the right punch on your card. Test

your feedback time at the model event! Take extra

care!

• Out of bounds and forbidden areas: wrong information in the

bulletin!

• Some forbidden areas have purple hatches (crosses). There are

a lot of olive green areas, which are not all taped around. Some

fences have purple “gate” overprint on them – these are possible

to cross. The marked route from the spectator / last control leads

through an olive green area – this must be followed, although it’s

olive green. High walls and high fences are forbidden to climb

over. The river on the map is only crossable over the bridges.

NOTE, all dark green areas are forbidden to cross!

• The information was taken from an old version of the map. Sorry

for the confusion!


• Some of the controls are situated very close to each

other, as little as 15 metres. The features can be viewedas similar. Control codes are very different though (like 58 and 70). Please check the codes!

• There are a lot of olive green areas in the terrain. They are

not all taped around. General rule: don’t climb over thetapes and you’ll be safe.

• There is no pre-warning from the organisers for incoming

runners to the exchange area. It’s your own responsibilityto look out for your incoming runner.


Because of the two controls that have to be punched twice, the control sequence might be difficult to follow. Take care!

After punching the last

control first, go lefttowards the last loop.

After completing the last

loop, go right towards thefinish
