For example, only one member of the team needs to come to registration. We woul d prefer you wear a mask at the admin tent although this is not mandatory.& nbsp; Bring the completed indemnity forms for each member of the team alrea dy completed and signed. This will avoid milling around rego and save you time! Maps, notes and Navlight tags will be handed out with minimal to uching. Please drop your team-numbered flight plan directly into the box provided. Touch points at the toilets will be cleaned regularly.
At each water drops we will have 2 pumps inserted into water contain ers. Please use the hand sanitiser available before and after touchin g the pumps. Please maintain a safe 1.5m distance from other teams - including while doing your route planning, at the briefings, at the start a nd finish, and when approaching controls.
We have made the navl ight punches hands-free by strapping them to the same feature as the contro l flag, mounted perpendicular to the feature and ready to use without needi ng to touch it with your hands. Just present your navlight wrist tag to the reader so the navlight flashes in the usual way.
