Wondering how we will get there?

We have no idea. We will follow the race directions which will include street names, turns and our time/speed, and that’s it.

No maps. No mobile phones.

Sample of rally navigation. There can be as many as 26-pages of these sorts of directions and it will be Della’s job to keep us on the right route.
