The Pasty Dakar

A hybrid GPS and roadbook navigation challenge set on some of Devon’s finest green lanes.
Teams of 2–6 riders will navigate a network of waypoints using plotted coordinates, teamwork, and strategy.

Bike eligibility:
Road-legal trail, adventure, or even mopeds are welcome.
Enduro bikes are not allowed.
Teams must stay together at all times—no splitting up to collect extra points.

Classes

• Novice – Slightly easier (but still challenging) lanes. Recommended for larger bikes or first-timers.
• Experienced – Tougher, trickier lanes for those familiar with Devon’s green-lane terrain.

Navigation preparation is identical for both classes; only lane difficulty differs.

Time: 8:00–17:00
Format: GPS waypoint hunt
One month before the event, waypoint coordinates (Lat/Long + What3Words) will be emailed to team captains.
Plot them on your chosen navigation setup and build your own route strategy.

You’ll receive an answer sheet on Saturday morning.
Return to camp before 17:00 and hand in your completed sheet.
Prize giving on Saturday night.

Scored separately (Saturday’s results used only as a tie-breaker).

Requirements

One team member will need a handlebar-mounted, powered:

• Android phone/tablet or

Format
