If the terrain allows, the first article will be put down about 100 paces on the first leg. If it is impossible, the first article will be lay on the second leg.
Transportation to the tracking fields – Control of the tracking leashes
The chosen tracking fields are about 10 km from the stadium.
The participants will drive with their own vehicles, leaded by a guide to the meeting point – Clubhouse DVG Rheine-Altenrheine 1936, Franz-Bernhard-Str. 82, 48432 Rheine. There the tracking leash will be controlled for correct length and the leash will be marked. The tracking can only be performed with this marked lesh. After this procedure the team-leaders and handlers will be guided to the tracking fields.
In the tracking fields you can get drinks (warm/cold), snacks, rolls, sausages, cake and about noon also lunch.
