Roadbook Rally by Zacker Adventures...THIS IS NOT A RACE!
We are excited to host our 6th Roadbook Rally. Each one has grown in popularity and we have listened to your feedback. This year we are doing 2-days of 280km-350km (Moto), 160km-190km (4x4) of navigational challenges per day. You will have to participate on both Friday and Saturday to be eligible for prizes and awards. We have teamed up with Terra Pirata, who has developed a state of the art customizable digital roadbook navigation app to track and score your routes. This will track the participants' Waypoints, Speed Zones, Penalties, and Time. Zacker Adventures will supply Camping or Lodging for 3 nights, Breakfasts on 3 mornings, Dinner on 2 evenings, and a Shit Ton of Fun!
We will have awards for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd places for ALL Classes. Each Moto/4x4 will have to use the Terra Pirata App for Tracking, Waypoint, and Speed Zone verification. The App is FREE for you to use during the event.
***Recommended Terra Pirata App Tutorial***
Penmerryl Farm will be the central bivouac for this event.
Penmerryl Farm has full amenities (private showers and toilets) for the campers. We also have options for lodging, please see below pricing.
