Long Course has a map ‘flip’ for increased legibility. Both sections of course are printed on the same side of the paper, but are separated by an area of blank space. Control 13 will be printed on both sections.
The Long and Red course visit the same control twice.
Controls are sometimes close together and at sharp angles, so read the course carefully.
