Other questions
The Drop is an orienteering-style event where participants are blindfolded and dropped at an undisclosed location, then must navigate back to the event centre without any electronic aids or maps (unless provided).
Distances are measured as the crow flies, so the actual route you take will likely be longer.
On registration, you hand over all electronic devices and receive a race number and an emergency bag. You are then blindfolded and transported to the drop point.
No, all electronic devices must be handed over before transport. Devices that record progress may be carried but must remain sealed in the emergency bag; breaking the seal results in disqualification.
Yes, live GPS tracking is offered as an optional paid feature for sharing and safety. Trackers are accurate to about 5 metres but performance may vary in poor signal areas.
