7. Environment
These rules have been included to ensure we all participate in a world class event that is at the forefront of environment conservation, by abiding with globally accepted environmental practices when traveling through and camping on public land. Penalty points will be imposed on entrants for breach of any environment rules stated herein.
7.1. Campsites, assembly, holding and work areas, are to be left clean. Take all of your own rubbish, and maybe that of other peoples. Do not bury any rubbish. Each Team is required to carry at least one large garbage bag per day of event.
7.2. Toilets are not available, ensure you dig a hole and bury “night soil” at least 100 meters away from campsites and water courses. Failure to comply with this requirement, will be immediate disqualification from the event.
7.3. Failure to use a tree protector during winching operations may result in a DNS being recorded for the SS.
7.4. When driving on the beach, ensure that you keep to the marked tracks and don’t drive over or damage vegetated sand dunes. When in the jungle do not cut down or damage standing trees or plants. Ensure you drive on the marked tracks and if you encounter fallen trees etc, that block the track, rather than trying to drive around them, remove them off the track.
