Rogaining is a competitive team activity in which you use a map (supplied on the day) and a compass (your own) to find controls (worth points) over a designated area (as indicated on map) within a specific timeframe (in this case: 6 hours). Think of it as a treasure hunt for bushwalkers. 

The first of this year's bush rogaines is less than a month away so now is the time to let me know if you wish to take part in an ANB team.  The Autumn Rogaine will be held in Dharug National Park, not far from Wiseman's Ferry, on Saturday 2 May.  It will start at 12 midday and there is both a 6-hour and a 12-hour event.  Although I am intending to participate in the 6-hour event only, if there are any takers (at least 2) I shall be happy to enter a team on their behalf in the 12-hour event.

Entry cost per person is $55 or $40 concession (full-time students, pensioners and 14-22 years of age) which covers course maps, administration plus hot food at the conclusion of the event.  The course has been planned to suit novices and experienced rogainers alike so don't be shy if rogaining is new to you!

There will be onsite camping available at the start/finish location (to be advised) so please let me know if you are interested in camping overnight after the event or returning home Saturday evening (it's about 1 hour from Hornsby). Please also let me know if you need a lift - I anticipate meeting at Hornsby Station for car pooling.

If you intend to join an ANB team or if you have any queries, please contact me by Friday 24 April.  You will need to pay the entry fee to me by then as well.

No experience is necessary and all participants take part in a team of 2-5 people.

Hi Charles

How's booking going? I'm interested in being part of the team. 

Could you please include me and advise me carpool arrangement. I live in the West, Bossley Park.

Thanks
