Other questions
Participants are bused from the event centre to an undisclosed drop location. They are blindfolded during the journey and released at an unknown point. They must navigate back to the start using only their own skills, without maps or GPS.
No, personal GPS or any electronic navigation devices are strictly prohibited and must be handed over at registration. An optional official live GPS tracker can be purchased separately for tracking purposes only.
The event centre is at Cooper's Field in Cardiff. Parking is available in the town centre. The nearest railway station is about a 10-minute walk away.
Breaking the seal on the emergency bag will result in disqualification, as it contains emergency items only for genuine emergencies.
