Slap-Up in Gourock:  Saturday 28th October 2023

Starting at 11am

This year’s spring rogaiSpring 2023ne is in the headwaters of the Queanbeyan and Bredbo rivers, covering Gourock National Park and adjacent private property.  It’s a special area of high country (up to 1,400m) surrounded by old mature forests.  Fantastic granite country.  There are the usual 6 hour or 12 hour options, with the HH on the Slapup farm.  Make a weekend of it and stay overnight (grassy camping) and help collect controls the next day! 

It takes about 1.5 hours to drive from Canberra.  The Hartley Life Care team will be there to give you the best Slapup rogaine meal and breakfast.

The Nigel Aylott Memorial Sports Foundation (NAMSF) sponsors the competition with a perpetual trophy and travel subsidies.
 
We are now putting the call out for uni teams interested in representing the ACT at this event who would like to apply for a travel subsidy. Travel subsidy for this event will be free seats on the event bus from Canberra.

We know that the Aus Champs clashes with the Inward Bound event this year - but we hope there are some university teams that will be making the journey to Goobang to compete.

Congratulations to all who participated, and special congratulations to overall winner Ryan Stocks (also the winner of the mens category), and other category winners Susie Sprague and Selina Stoute (womens) and Oscar Woolford, James Harris and Liv Murphy (mixed).

Please let us know if you notice any errors in the provisional results. Note that control 45 (which wasn't flashing when punched) does appear in people's results. We also had to update the mixed youth's category, moving the winners announced during the event to the men's youth category due to a team change, so if you are now in the winning team (Oscar, James & Liv) or in the second or third place team and would like your correct certificates and winners' travel cups, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots.
