The car traffic is not restricted there. Take a deep breath at the start, think about your route choice and connect the controls by a marker, otherwise you will forget some of them for sure. Especially after the last night:-). It would be a shame to be disqualified at the last stage... Stay away from the dotted paths. Remember the previous stages, how the different tracks looks like, how soft, bumpy and water-soaked they are. 16
