Short description of 48 Pomerania:

As it was in case of the previous edition,  48 Pomerania is going to be a simulation of an expedition. That means, the whole route has to be covered continuously with nights spent on the way.

The competitors drive according to road book, occasionally a map, and indicated routes. On the route you will have to tackle a range of:

ST  special tasks -  (e.g. water tasks, applying rope techniques,  bridge, swamp crossing,  etc.) that will   be assessed by a referee for all.

PK, SPK  check  points – code numbers hidden on the route that you have to spot for all.  OS  special sections – voluntary, for more experienced participants, assessed by a referee; on some of  them your time will be measured. For L group - forbidden.

The route in total is ca 300 km long. The time and the distance results of the drive does not have a significant influence on classification

 It is how many points you collect, not how fast you go that counts!

Minimal off road equipment:

For all: off road tires, towline, shackles, shovel.

A and S group: besides the above the recommended equipment consists of: Hi Lift jack, sand plates / ladders and obligatorily a winch!

We recommend you have your own camping, climbing and water equipment – it will earn special bonus for your team.
