Overnight & Day 2

• Teams must double-check they are entered in the correct category (even if non-competing)

• And teams must not swap events once they have started on the course...

• If you are Senior or Open team and end up back at HQ at the end of Day 1, you are in the wrong place

• If you are a Junior team and end up at the campsite at the end of Day 1, you are in the wrong place

The Overnight Campsite for SENIOR and OPEN participants is:

• Ellesborough Guide Centre

• Missenden Road

• Butlers Cross

• Aylesbury

• HP17 0UP

Registration

• Team arriving at the site at the end of Day 1 must register with the Camp Marshall

Supervision

• Each team will be required to show his/her Event Passport at registration at the overnight campsite

• Each team is responsible for completing their own “NAN” forms and following the normal Nights Away procedures: NOT the organisers

• Any overnight supervising leaders should must be suitably certified

• Teams’ Scout Leaders are requested to be contactable available at all times – e.g. leave mobile phone numbers with the Camp Marshall if going off site etc.

Pitching and Parking

• There is limited parking at the campsite. Scout Leaders are asked to camp at some distance from their teams to allow teams their full independence 

• Teams will be instructed where to pitch when they arrive 

• Neither hexamine nor pierced blue gas canisters are allowed on site

• Empty fuel canisters should be left beside bin bags (not in them due to risk of bin bags being burned)

Senior and Open Teams: Briefing for Day 2

• There will be a briefing in the Campsite mess tent for one representative from each team at a time to be announced on site at arrival

Starting and Check-Out from Overnight Site

• The course opens at 8.00am when teams may leave the campsite if they are ready and have had their pitch inspected and signed-off

• Teams must check-out with Camp Marshall as soon as they are ready to leave and will be given an official start time

Finishing and Check-In back at Start HQ

• Teams will walk back to the Start HQ

• The course closes at 2.00pm when flags will be retrieved from the course

• Any difficulties on the course, or being unable to return before 2.00pm, teams should phone the Transport number

• The maximum time allowed for Day 2 is 5 hours, regardless of what time teams leave

• On return, teams should hand their punched Control Card to the Finish Marshal who will confirm and record the official time
