The course follows a set path. For each control marked on the map there will be a viewing point from where it is possible to see several control kites. The competitor has to select which of the controls is the one marked on their map. When you see an event advertised it should give you directions how to get there. Often there will be red and white signs to guide you from a major road.
Parking is normally in a field close to the area.
Occasionally you may be asked to make a small contribution to cover the cost of hiring the field. You may buy the map here or at another car. Firstly, you will be asked what time you want to start. Ask how far it is to the start so that you can leave plenty of time to get yourself ready. You will also be asked your age class.
