The great minmus race!

[Jaypeg]

Try and circumnavigate minmus with a rover or hoper without going above 100m above ground level. You start at the monument and must go around the planet (roughly), cross over the exact opposite side of the planet, then return to the minmus monument in the shortest amount of time possible.

Just an idea, my best time is 7 min

Two Questions: 

1. In order to simplify the circumnavigation, Can we do the equator instead of the monument? Keeping a straight line will be tough on that inclination. 

2. You say we can use a hopper as long at it stays below 100m... how big can these hops be? Let's say each hop is half an orbit, is this acceptable as long as I can fly below 100m? 

If the answer to these questions is "yes," I will probably give this a go but I don't really want to spend hours driving in arced lines chasing the monument.

Is there an option for automatic terrain leveling for areas other than the flat plains of Minmus?
