The PEAK RAID 3s all have a score format so you can make them as hard or as easy as you like. A specially produced colour, bagged map (approx. size A4) of the area with the checkpoints overprinted will be supplied at the start line. For each event there will be between 15 check points. They can be visited in any order and each will have a points value. The secret is to collect as many points as possible with in the time limit of 3 hours. This may be a few high values check points or many lower value controls. Each area is different so your strategy may need to change each time.

You can finish the events early but dont be late as youll lose points per minute or part minute you are late..
