Organiser notes
All team vehicles are absolutely forbidden from using the level crossing at Southease station. There’s no point in taking that route, and any transgression will bring instant disqualification.
All vehicles should park in the lay by (TQ 37080 09187, online.gems.scavenger), not on the road outside Housedean Farm.
All non-runners should respect the privacy of the Housedean Farm residents and avoid disrupting farm activity by not congregating near the farm entrance.
