CMB: Location 730½ 479½, open 2100-2115

Route Checks: All route checks will be on or adjacent to 'yellow' roads. You may visit whichever route checks you choose, in any order; the numbering scheme does not imply a route. All route checks will be away from occupied dwellings. For the purpose of solving route check clues, all 'white' roads should be ignored, unless the clue clearly indicates otherwise. No through roads and roads which go off the edge of the maps are not included in the navigation. Dual carriageways are regarded as two parallel roads. Some clues follow a route, but this is only for the purpose of indicating the location of the route check, it is not intended that competitors should attempt to follow the route. Since this is a re-run of an event set a few years ago, some route checks will no longer be valid. At points where route checks have gone missing, codeboards will be placed - put the letter on the codeboard in the box on your answer sheet.
