Starting where ever you like at midday Saturday you have 24 hours to get as many peaks as possible and finish at Emersons Brewery carpark at midday Sunday.RULES...
* All must be under your own steam. NO motorised transport for 24 hours.
* Running only or multi-sport option.
* Look after yourself.
* Get landowner permission before crossing private land.
SCORING...
* There is 1 point for every 100m vert of the named peak or trig. So, for example, Mt Cargill (676m) is worth 6 points. Signal Hill (393m) is worth 3 points.
* Peaks that count are BOTH named peaks on the topo map AND trigs (dark triangles with a code) on the topo map. See pics. If a peak has both a named peak AND a trig you don't get points for both)
BONUS EXCEPTIONS - PAY ATTENTION!
*** BACON KNOB ***
As per usual our favourite knob will score points even though it isn't named and doesn't have a trig. 5 points.
*** LARNACH CASTLE ***
It's not an official peak but it still matters. 10 points IF you get a photo of yourself with a tourist on the castle steps, and if you don’t but bag it anyway it’s still 3 points.
*** THE CLUMP ***
It's near Hightop in the Silverpeaks. More legends have been told about night time trips to The Clump than King Arthur and those other Knights. 10 points if done in the dark (photo evidence required).
*** THE GAP ***
Being at the far end of the Silverpeaks the Gap can feel a bit excluded. That isn't right so we are doubling the points for the trig at the Gap. Note this means you get 6 points for the named peak "The Gap" (650m) and a further 12 points for the trig!!!
And now for the WILD CARD!!! [insert drum roll here]
*** TEMPTATION PEAK!!! ***
MT KYEBURN. It's just up from Dansey's Pass and has nice views. 100 points!!!
SEND-IT CATEGORY
All above rules apply EXCEPT, IF you start over 150km (as the crow flies) from Emerson's Brewery, you may get in a car once for up to 1 hour. The car must stick to the speed limit.
Points as above will apply, however, the winners will be judged (at Emerson's) on the basis of style and not only points.
