All travel into regional NSW req uires that you carry evidence of your double vaccination status – paper cop y or download onto your phone. The NSW check-in app will not work at the HH as there is poor reception. Please ensure your contact details on the application form are correct.
Vaccination helps but does not completely stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Therefore, we will do our best to make this event as COVID safe as possible. For example , only one member of the team needs to come to registration. We would prefe r you wear a mask at the admin tent although this is not mandatory. B ring the completed indemnity forms for each member of the team already comp leted and signed. This will avoid milling around rego and save you ti me! Maps, notes and Navlight tags will be handed out with minimal touching. Please drop your team-numbered flight plan directly into the box pr ovided. Touch points at the toilets will be cleaned regularly.
At each water drops we will have 2 pumps inserted into water containers.&nb sp; Please use the hand sanitiser available before and after touching the p umps. Please maintain a safe 1.5m distance from other teams - includi ng while doing your route planning, at the briefings, at the start and fini sh, and when approaching controls.
We have made the navlight pu nches hands-free by strapping them to the same feature as the control flag, mounted perpendicular to the feature and ready to use without needing to t ouch it with your hands. Just present your navlight wrist tag to the reader so the navlight flashes in the usual way.
