We have placed a lot of checkpoints all
around Alingsås. The idea is to find the checkpoints with the help
of the map and/or GPS. You can use your cell-phone and the webmap or
a physical map that you get for free.
THE MAP AND CHECKPOINTS
On the map there are 125 numbered
checkpoints with color-codes explaining the difficulty.
Some of the checkpoints are placed out
from May 1st, June 1st and August 1st, while some are taken away at
August 10th. These are marked on the map and on the checkpoint
description. There are even six secret checkpoints that will not be
published until September 17th.
At every checkpoint there is a one
meter high "hittaut"-pole.
On the pole there are Hittaut-decals,
the checkpoint-number and the code. Note the code (one letter) and
register it on the homepage. There are also reflexes on the pole, so
you will be able to find your checkpoint even in he dark.
You can download the map in your
cell-phone or pick up a free paper map.

REGISTER YOUR CHECKPOINTS ONLINE
When you have found your first
checkpoint, or even before you start, you can register here on
orientering.se/hittaut/alingsas.
Every checkpoint you register (with the
letter-code) on the homepage, becomes a lottery ticket and you can
win prizes.
It's valuable for the project that you
register, since both we and our sponsors whant to know how many
checkpoint finders we'll be.
