Any refuelling must be done in the pits area. 

Event control
Our usual signing on tent will now become event control, so you still have a point of contact to speak to someone if there's any problems.

Medical conditions
Anybody with any medical conditions that our first aid crew need to know about please go and speak to Lee from Dorset medical and bring him up to speed.

Things to Watch out for at Beacon Hill

Please keep your goggles on at all times there are lots of thorns and debris that could damage your eyes.  

There are lots of huge ant hills that we have deliberately missed but there still may be one or two close to the track and they will throw you straight over the handlebars. 

The matrix extreme section is only suitable for riders who are extremely good at getting over obstacles. Please note there are lots of hidden large holes in this sections, I would suggest walking the Matrix before riding it.  The same applies to the extreme route which is a very very steep down hill followed by a very, very steep uphill climb!!

The extreme and Matrix sections are marked by large white signs.

These sections are easy to bypass look out for the green easy route signs and you will have a great day.

There are also places with skull and crossbones signs for hidden holes and  steep down hills and these are also only for expert riders  and easily bypassed

Sighting lap

Mike and Ben will lead the sighting lap, but I will not be stopping to let everybody bunch up as usual, so you will have to be very vigilant at navigating your way round.

Remembered no tear offs at Enduro events they are poisonous for farm animals.

Footpaths and right of ways
 There are two places the track crosses the right of way and these will be indicated with crossing ahead signs and  walking pace signs.  Please cross these sections at walking pace.  These  crossings are also manned by marshals ensure you follow any instructions given by the marshal and stop if you are asked to do so.

 No riding outside the Track
Riders can come on and off the track at any time of the session but there is absolutely no riding outside the track.  Once you are off the track you need to push your bike, please return to your vans when not riding. 

Track markings
Crossed arrows that is a warning sign look out for an obstacle or danger.
An orange arrow on either side of the track you need to ride between the two arrows.
Yellow  tape marks the side of the track, sometimes there will be tape on both sides.  Ride between both sides of the tape.
Some sections may have orange arrows on one and yellow tape on the other side, so you ride between them.

Injured riders
If anybody comes across an injured rider please make sure you keep a good distance away from them and park your bike across the track diagonally so no one else can run them over.  We would ask you verbally check they are okay and if they need first aid assistance send a rider on to the event control  or the closest right of way station to inform us a rider needs help. There will be plenty of riding marshals out on the track and they will take over a will look after the injured rider. If the rider has neck or spinal injuries, please do not move them. 

Warning Motorsport can be dangerous and may involve death or injury! Despite organisers taking all reasonable precautions accidents can happen.
please comply with all instructions from marshals and notices and remain in permitted areas only. they are only concerned with your safety.
