Camping is available at the service area / paddock. The camping is very basic and only really suited to vans and motorhomes.

COURSE Course: will be approx. 50 miles of hard based tracks, fire roads and single track. The course is split into two sections, one 18 mile loop and one 32 mile loop. Lap times will be very relaxed. Riders will start from the service / paddock area at 1 minute intervals. The course will be marked with Dayglo arrows with additional marking on the special stages. Please note you must follow the course marking at all times. Under NO circumstances may you ride in the opposite direction to the course as this is likely to cause a major accident. If you require assistance, please wait for a travelling marshal. Anyone seen or reported for riding against the course will be excluded and barred from all future RallyMoto Ltd events. There is no sighting lap for this event. TIMED STAGES The special test will be, timed to the nearest ‘000 second. N.B. The timing procedure is slightly different for this event.​ When arriving at the start point for the timed stage the timing marshal will give you a minute to start the stage, this will be a delay of three minutes, you should proceed into the start area, wait for your minute (3 minutes) and then start the stage. The timing marshal will make a note of your start time ­ there is no need for the rider to make a note of the start time. The rider then rides the timed stage, at the end of the timed stage there will be a warning marker board for the end of the timing and an actual end marker, this is a flying finish ­ so go through the end of the timing point at speed. There will then be countdown boards for approximately 400m ­ this will allow you to slow down and to ​STOP​ at the timing marshals point. Here your race number will be confirmed and the timing marshal will make a note of your finish time. Again there is no need for riders to make a note of this time. ​But you must STOP​. This is the procedure at each timed stage. Stage Marking Times stage marking: this is marked by orange arrows following the convention above. N.B. This is slightly different to our usual stage marking. All liaison will be marked by orange arrows for motorcycle competitors.
