Online advance registration only.
SIAC will be enabled for the event. Punching Start & Finish.
The start and finish are on the top of the downs, and many of the controls can be visited without descending the slopes, however those intending to clear the course will find that there is plenty of climb. The area is divided by fences into a number of compartments for grazing animals.
The map will be double sided at scale 1:4,000. A composite map showing how the two sides relate will be displayed before the start.
