When you arrive to register you will be issued with a permit for your tent/campervan. This needs to be displayed during your stay. All tents/campervans MUST be booked in advance.
If you would prefer not to camp please feel free to arrange your own accommodation off-site. You will be responsible for arranging travel to and from the 2013 adventure race locations.
