Polaris Challenge information and tips.

A This should be your first port of call if you are interested in doing a polaris challenge, i have done 7 events now, and hopefully i can pass on some tips and info i have learnt over the years.


 
Map Plotting

Take advantage of the Polaris Laminated Map service, its better than have lots of os maps stuck together , this special Map is designed to cover the whole area used during the event, it also makes a good memento went the event is over. When you have marked the out of bounds areas and checkpoints cut the map down so it fits easier into your map holder. Take time to mark the check points most new compasses have a scale to dived the map grid in to 10 points.

Highlight each control in green or pink - then count up to make sure you haven't omitted any. Write the control description on the map. Use a yellow highlighter to mark all the possible off road routes between the checkpoints.

Mark the out of bounds areas with a red pen.

MAKE sure you use permanent marker pens!!
