The teams are set a route that
identifies a number of Checkpoints, Incidents and Via points.
-
At all Checkpoints the team will
be timed in and asked to sign that they have been at the Checkpoint.

A number of Incidents will be set
around the course, which the teams will complete. These may take the form of
tasks that test team work, scouting/guiding, general knowledge or even a bit
of fun!
The route is circular and ends back at
Gradbach where the teams book into Control, hand in the ongoing Incident and
have a nice cup of soup with a bread roll. All teams are hoped to be back by
dusk.
The evening is then left free for
recuperation, trip to the chip shop etc. We will normally organise entertainment
for Scouts and Scouters. In recent years this has included live bands and an
on-site movie theatre with widescreen projection and amplified surround sound.

teams are rewarded for completing and the winning teams are presented with
the trophies.
