tenting only?

On the site for the start and the hashhouse is there only camping in a tent available? Or are there some sort of bunks or rooms or anything to put one's gear?
We are coming from the US and will have everything with us for the Rogaine and three weeks we are spending in Estonia and Latvia.

Indeed, at the event center, there is only camping in a tent available. No other options for overnight stay are available at the hash house. However, storage for gear will be arranged.

Thank you.
Is there anyplace dry we can sleep night before the race? Tent poles may not be allowed on airplane with all the restricitions now.
How far is Ähijärve Study Centre from the hashhouse.

One more question - thank you.

What time does the bus leave Tartu for the hash house on Sat morning and when would it arrive before the race?
Then I would not need a tent at all if we can store out gear at hash house. Probably others wondering the same thing.

Dear Ken,
If you are looking for a decent accommodation before the race, I shall suggest you to stay overnight in Tartu, Antsla or Otepää and take the Saturday morning bus to the event center. Your options for accommodation are bigger if you travel by rental car (for links see section "where to stay".
Ähijärve Study and Visitor Centre is precisely where the hashhouse will be located. However, it is not a very large building and we need these rooms for the secretariat and to keep all the equipment to organize the event, foodstuff etc. Therefore, accommodation is not available at the Visitor Center during the event.
To the best of my knowledge, tent poles are fully allowed on airplanes, provided you check them in and do not attempt to take them in the cabin.

Best wishes,

The Saturday morning bus leaves from Tartu at 7am and arrives at the hash house about 8.30am. However, if you have not yet booked your seats in the special bus or would like to change your travel time, please notify me by e-mail very soon.
Bus reservations with the service provider have already been made and only a limited number of seats are still available.

Best wishes,
Lauri Leppik
