::ENVIRONMENTALLY
RESPONSIBLE::
The casual driver
as well as the contestant must always bear in
mind that off road driving seeks to unite man
and nature. It is never a test of wills of one
against another. Internationally accepted practices
are to be abided by when traveling and camping.
Always remember
to take your garbage with you. No burying of thrash
is allowed. Carry out  bodily
functions at least 1 00 meters away from the campsites
and well away from water. Keep to marked trails
and do not drive over vegetated sand dunes while
on beaches.
Never run over
or flatten any living undergrowth or saplings
if your vehicle can safely go around it. Attempt
also to move fallen obstructions blocking your
track rather than trying to drive over them.
- Wear
light but absorbent natural fibre
clothing.
- Nights
inthe rainforests may get cooler
than expected so bring along a water-proof
jacket to keep you warm as well
as protected from the rain.
- Strudy
shoes are a must especially in competition
events. Bring a pair of thongs or
sneakers to let your feet breathe
and relax when you make camp.
- Socks
are a must to keep your feet dry
and unchaffed.
- A
pair of heavy duty gloves are also
advisable.
- Bring
a sleeping bag and a camping tent
for overnight shelter.
- Always
check vehicles before starting out
on a drive. Pay special attention
to tyres which can develop punctures
from the rough terrain.
- Carry
a first aid kit with elastic bandages,
surgical dressing, antiseptic, burn
cream, eye drops, scissors and tweezers.
