A Word from the Directing Team:

We are again using the Pakenham Auto Club facilities in Key Lane Pakenham. This is the location for Start, Lunch Break and Finish.

No special car preparations are required although some form of compass is necessary and a trip meter is of value. All roads are easily passable by any normal passenger car.

The event is in two Sections:

Section 1 – The Novice Section:

Starting at 10.00am for the first car and finishing at 12.00pm. Relatively simple navigation, all Via Points are marked and numbered on the supplied maps. Remember we don’t want to get you lost, only to miss the occasional Via Point. We do, however, recommend a magnifying glass.

Lunch Break:

There will be approximately a 2 hour break between Sections 1 and 2. This will enable those who are competing in both Section 1 and Section 2 to have a break, enjoy the barbeque and then plot Section 2.

Section 2 –The Experts Section:

This is a longer and more difficult section. It uses largely 1931 maps (some a little older) and will test even the most experienced competitors. However, again, we do not want you to get lost so we hope to take the occasional points off you on the way through. First car starts at 2.00 pm and is due to finish at 4.30 pm. To ease your plotting on this section all Vias have been circled however you will still have to check the actual via point and make sure you have everything correct.
