After a lot of work we are finally in a position to get this show on the road, or off the road perhaps for 2009. 4X4 CHALLENGE FOR CHARITY is a driving and navigational event with off road sections to be held on October 3rd and 4th. It is open to teams of two in 4x4 vehicles. Teams will consist of one driver and one navigator. No other person will be allowed to travel in the vehicle during the event (this helps to maximise sleeping space in the vehicle!!)
Working from OS maps and a road book teams will navigate their way over approximately 800kms to find hidden clues and complete certain tasks. Digital cameras will be needed to photograph certain items en route. A full list of equipment will be provided in the entry pack to be sent out before the event. The event is open to any 4x4 capable of being driven off-road (well maybe not a Fiat Panda) and in good road worthy condition. It will start at a place yet to be announced for reasons of secrecy, and finish at a top quality hotel on the Sunday night where we will have a prizegiving dinner.
If you want to enter print off the entry form from the website and send it in together with the entry fee. Entries will not be accepted without payment. The basic Entry Fee which will cover some of the expenses and is non-refundable is €200 per team. The entry fee this year includes the cost of maps. Entrants should just have a good road atlas. In addition teams are asked to raise a minimum of €500 in sponsorship and there will be an award for the highest amount of sponsorship raised.
Entry fees MUST be paid when returning the entry form. The entry fee covers operating expenses and includes a hotel room, dinner and breakfast for Sunday night. Any further personal expenses, drinks etc will be at your own expense. Any surplus in the entry fee will be added to the sponsorship fund and given to TEMPLE STREET CHILDRENS HOSPITAL in Dublin.
