    Additional Instructions  

    Whilst driving in this event you should:  

  • Look out for / keep in view the vehicle behind you - if not stop.
  • Maintain contact with that vehicle and keep in convoy.
  • Maintain a safe following distance, especially on steep ascents / descents.
  • Children must be very closely supervised AT ALL TIMES.
  • Seek assistance from a 4x4 Club member or designated organiser (Hi Visibility Vests will be worn) should you

    •     need assistance or are unsure.
  • KC4WD Club members will be carrying fire extinguishers, First Aid Kits, two-way radios and recovery
        equipment.
  • KC4WD Club members will co-ordinate any recovery / extraction necessary.
  • Maintain a tyre pressure of 20-25 psi which increases your tyres’ footprint on the ground, makes your tyres work
    •     more effectively and provides a smoother ride.
  • Re-inflate your tyres to road / highway pressures as soon as possible (Compressor available)
  • If you have your own walkie-talkie, please bring these along for your own use.
