| Aids: | Should use OCAD in order to make many maps/courses. |
| Terrain: | Not too hilly terrain. Urban terrain is also an option. |
| Preparations: | Make many short courses, and put them in one bag for each new start point. |
| Tips: | Ideal with 3 or 4 persons. Do not make all the courses on one map - that makes it too easy to cheat. Instead, at each new start, there is a bag with maps for the next course, and the next start is marked on the previous map. |
