Starting at 10:00 AM from Motorama 4X4XMore Salisbury

first car out at 10:00am (i hope)

$5 entry fee (to cover us setting up and checking the route)

BBQ (byo burnable food) meetup at end of run

Club members get points towards competition trophies.

You'll need a navigator, a few pencils (and even an erasor) and a UBD is needed.

Contact me or wilbo666 to register your entry so we know how many cars to expect

Non-club members are most welcome to enter!

BBQ will be fired up at the end of the run.

Non-competitors wanting to meet up with competitors at the end of the runwill be notified of the end-point after the last car is off getting lost in Brisbane


What is a Nav Run?

you and a navigator follow route or navigation instructions - think of it as an introduction to road/tarmac rallying.

Driving at road legal speeds you follow different kinds of instructions and along the way you have clues to solve. I tests your powers of observation, map reading, following directions and your willingness to get along with your navigator who may or may not have got your very lost 6 corners ago

Clues are usually signs or other big things you can see from your car. Sometimes the clues require you to get out of the car to collect a clue or hint.

Is about 2 hours (max) to complete the course which is run on sealed roads in Brisbane. If it's a daytime event, we end up at a BBQ location, if it's a night-time event we rock up at a late-night McDonalds for coffee and junkfood.

Scoring is based on the distance your cover (e.g. trip meter is important), clue reading/observing accuracy and time taken (too fast looses points, as does too slow).

You need a torch if it's a nightime even, a UBD, sharp pencil(s), mobile phone (when all is lost you can phone up for a hint) and a map reading light.

last minute bump!

the BBQ is at Cleveland:

Masthead Drive
UBD 185 - P12

Look for the green twin cab Hilux ute.

We should be there from about 11:15am onwards, waioting for cars to arrive at the end of the run.

If you don't want to compete but might want to say hello, feel free to rock up.
