The aim of the challenge is for teams of 2 to 6 adults to visit as many points as possible from a list of specified grid references within a 10 hour period. Scoring as many points as possible. Teams should aim to arrive between16:00 & 19:00 hrs on Friday 15th July.
On the Friday evening teams will be provided with an Ordnance Survey map of the area and a list of upto 100 grid references, with varying points values. During the Friday evening teams will plan their route, deciding how far to walk, and which points to visit to get the highest score.
At each point, teams must find the answer to a question related to that location. It could be the manufacturer of a gate, the number of rungs on a ladder stile or the date a building was built. Whatever the question, multiple choice answers are provided. A correct answer wins the team the points allocated to that position. A wrong answer and the points are deducted.
Teams will randomly draw their start time and depart at intervals. Teams must decide and inform Bowland Challenge Control the time, between 11:00 and 14:00hrs, that they plan to arrive at the midpoint check-in. Teams must provide Bowland Challenge Control with an outline route plan for both the morning and afternoon route prior to their departure.
