Just a minor change to this checkpoint as we are using live tracking at that CP and it needs a mobile signal. I never got one at the original CP hence the move.

Also using it at both road crossings and grindlow knoll. It will let us know, in real time, when people have cleared those sections of the course. And will narrow the area needed to be searched if people are missing and let us know they are missing a lot sooner too.

It's quite expensive to use, but with a field of this size in a potentially wintery race, I felt it was worth the money. It's one reason why the race is quite a bit more expensive this year.
