competitors need to decide on their own route. Allow ample time for route
planning. We recommend no less than 1 hour for route plotting and bring your own
stationary, highlighters etc to mark maps. GPS are NOT allowed although foot
pods and distance measuring watches (without gps co-ords.) are permitted.

they are carrying all compulsory items at all times. There will be random kit
checks along the way and competitors without compulsory gear will be penalized
with time or disqualified accordingly. Please take necessary precaution to keep
maps dry. PFD lifejackets compulsory for the paddle. Boats required by
