Detour: Rondavels or Round the Mountain


Rondavels: In rondavels, the teams must work together to dismantle a traditional rondavel. Once a common form of housing in Lesotho, these round structures are now making way for more modern housing. Teams must make their way to the marked site just outside of Maseru, and carefully follow their instructions. If the groups don't work together (post exactly the same thing, same case, same font, and the specified colour), the rondavel will collapse and groups will have to spend 20 minutes cleaning up. I would say "THE CLUEBOX IS HERE" but that would just be a lie




Round the Mountain: In round the mountain, groups must travel to Moteng Pass, one of the few snowy areas in Africa. Once there, they will take a helicopter to the summit and must work together to reach the bottom. They are given 2 options at each of the 4 steps of the descent but some are more hazardous than others. Once they reach the bottom, they must spend the number of updates corresponding to the amount of poor choices they made warming up again. Once they have completed this, they will receive their next clue.


To do Rondavels, groups must post *Drive to area outside of city* (1U)
To do Round the Mountain, groups must post *Drive to base of mountain and board helicopter*

Intersection: This is the first of two intersections on the race. At this point, two teams must join forces and perform tasks together. If a team has been waiting at this point for more than 2 hours, they may continue tasks alone, although this may become difficult. Once teams have decided who they want to intersect with, they must state their intention do so while the other team is present. Transport must be able to fit both teams, and transport costs may be split however teams see fit.

*We choose to intersect with (Team)*
