2016 Freedom Challenge RASA & RTR Prep


Recommended Posts

They left Allendale at 4.50ish.  I think that is early enough, but a nav error on the pre Donnybrook forest cost Steve and Colleen a couple of hours of daylight.

They took a left instead of a right. :mellow:

Thanks Dusty, maybe another stupid question...how do you see/know they made a nav error?

I had a chat with them a bit later. If you zoomed in on their track you could see where they went wrong.

They're not doing the ideal route through Boshelweni now either :w00t:

they just went left, and should have gone right, right!

Which one is faster? I measured both options on GEarth & checked distance & riding times and they seemed pretty similar. Both options also marked on the maps but I'm all ears to hear which one will save a precious minute :-).

Ntsikeni will need to run a nightshift at check in this evening, a few late arrivals by the looks of it.

Looks like a case of monkey see monkey doo, one gets its wrong and the others follow spoor. Makes me think of this ou ballie that came on the spring ride without maps, he just read spoor, wanted to do RASA that way sadly he hasn't tried yet.

Well spotted.

The four riders who deviated from the route this morning were lost and have been given a warning. 

No time penalties were awarded as they did not gain any time advantage.
