Visiting the location !!!
- It is a big, complex and dangerous terrain, so it is better to go with 2 or more persons into the field.
- You will need a good GPS device that can bring you to a location within a range of 5 meters.
- Try to avoid the season when everything is heavily overgrown and green, because the vegetation is very dense, sharp and difficult to walk through.
- Several bunkers we couldn't find, despite of the GPS coordinates: because they are gone, worked under, closed or we were not able to come close because of the vegetation. At the end we had to stop because of a sprained ankle!
- The terrain of the motor cross with some bunkers on it, it not usable when it raining or still wet.
