RHINO
CHARGE (5 WEEKS, 2 DAYS TO GO)
The Rhino Charge is an off-road event in which
competitors are required to visit 13 points scattered over approximately 100
square kms of rough terrain within a 10 hour period. Competitors are supplied
with a 1:50,000 scale map of the venue, co-ordinates of the 13 Control Points
and their Start position (at one of the Controls). Each competitor must plot
the Control Points on the map and decide his/her route. Navigation is by
compass/GPS and the winner is the competitor who visits the most controls in
the shortest distance (GPS measured).
The event is organized
to raise funds for the Rhino Ark Charitable Trust. Competitors are required to
raise the minimum sponsorship set by the organizing committee. Most however
raise considerably more.
To negate environmental
damage entries to the Charge are limited to less than 60 vehicles. The popularity
of the Charge is such that the organizers have introduced a preferential entry
strategy favouring high value fund raisers because would-be entrants far exceed
available places in the event
