Control Description examples

Below is an image of the the sorts of things you will see on the control descriptions that are given to you (and usually printed on the map). These describe your course, the numbers of the controls (checkpoints) and the land feature that you will find the control marker (kite). The small graphic is shorthand and internationally understood.
