NAVRUNS
Navruns started back in 2002. We have fine tuned
our rules and scoring technique, identified what makes a Navrun
so much fun, yet we have made each one unique. We have re-invested
our takings into equipment such as brand new digital cameras,
breathalyser, speed radar gun, generator and lighting, mobile
office, computer equipment, etc, which all contribute to Navrun
events getting better and better.
There will be prizes and trophies up to 10th place.
Navrun is
a
team event for two
4 WD
vehicles. You plot your own course and pick the tracks and situations
you drive so this may suit stock standard 4WD vehicles right through
to the well prepared competition rigs. There are no classes or
class rules but extensively modified vehicles must be allowed
to be on the road. All vehicles must be registered and the drivers
must be licensed. Other than essential recovery equipment (such
as snatch straps, tow points, etc) we do not require specific
work to be done on your vehicle. It is simply recommended that
each team of two vehicles has the resources to recover itself
should the need arise. There will be GPS reference points. Ensure
that at least one of you has a GPS.
Here’s
the go … for the day runs we give you a digital camera and a lot
of GPS reference points with photos of us at these points.
Your mission
is to get to these places, identify which photo was taken at that
location and take your photo identical to ours to prove you got
there. Emphasis is placed on your observation and ability to replicate
our photograph. Note, these will not be just boring old holiday
snaps. Be prepared for some novel positions and navigational challenges.
Other special courses not using the cameras will be thrown in.
eg, stick maps, route maps, etc.
Every
Navrun is different, and we have a mixture or different courses
for each event. A lthough
there is a minimum of two licensed people per vehicle, you may
have more passengers. You may team up with a group of friends
or bring the kids. Just make sure they are sharp, on the ball
and not camera shy. In most cases, there are officials based at
camp so displaced family members and abandoned camping equipment
are safe.
Driving
will vary from 6 to 8 hours each session. Scores will be tallied
in the computer and trophies/prizes will be awarded to drivers
and navigators on location at the conclusion of each event.Feel
free to copy these details, fax it or pass it around to fellow
four wheel drive enthusiasts. In every case the early bird gets
the worm.
We
will close the entries when we reach the maximum quota that each
area can manage.Upon
receiving your entry form and payment,
we will email detailed particulars pertaining to the NavRun you
entered, such as how much fuel you will require, exact location,
maps, etc. The cost is $325 in total for the team of two
cars per weekend NavRun. Bring many passengers as you like, no
extra charge.
Please organise your own food and beverages, as
this is a non-catered event.
