This punch hunt is a event designed to test your driving skills in a safe and fun way.
Placed in various locations throughout the site will be 30 'punches' These are trig point punches simular to those used in orienteering (normally look like a mini stapler!) Each punch has a series of pins that are used to stamp your control card which will be attached to the LH side of your vehcile Each punch is numbered 1-30 so you must stamp the correct punch to the correct number on your control card.
We will arrange the punches so roughly 20 are driveable and 10 are winchable. You will need to use your driving skills to manouver your vehicle close enough to punch your card without removing either the punch or your control card from its fixed position. If punches or cards are tampered with this will result in disqualification.
