they have done so they must return to the point where they left the route and complete the course. Short
cuts are not permitted.

motorcycle. Anyone arriving later than 1/2 hour at the check point will lose an automatic set number of
points.

with a vehicle breakdown will be allowed. In the case of a vehicle breakdown the driver of the vehicle will
be allowed to affect their own repairs in order to complete the course provided the repairs do not
compromise the safety of the driver or other participants. A vehicle repaired in a manner that the
organizers deem to be a danger to the operator or other participants will be disqualified and removed
from the course at the organizers discretion. Should the vehicle be rendered inoperable, a vehicle road
side rescue service will be provided by the organizers. Should an entrant require rescue they will lose an
automatic set number points per section not completed.

determined.
