Tour de Tallaganda - 2023 6 hour Paddy Pallin event

The 2023 Paddy Pallin 6 hour event will be on Sunday 5 March 10am-4pm. The event will be about 1-1.5 hours from Canberra in the lovely Tallaganda State Forest. Get your team ready for a great day out in the bush. Entries are open from the event page. Final instructions have been posted.

While there are some steep hills, they come with expansive views. There is lots of open forest mixed with some areas of regrowth, but many vehicular and single tracks to help make your way around the course.

This is our annual event sponsored by Paddy Pallin so make sure to stay for the prize ceremony for some great spot prizes!

Bounding out to Bondo - 2022 Spring 6/12 Results

bondo22

Preliminary results are now available for the Spring 6/12.

Congratulations to all the springy rogaine teams. Ivan Koudashev and Xanda Kolesnikow won the 12 hour event and the 6 hour winners were Sarah and Mary Fien. Everyone enjoyed a dry day and, for the 12 hour teams, some wonderful moonlight. However, there were a lot of wet and muddy shoes at the finish. Check out the photos here

Many teams saw snakes and (unfortunately) feral horses. The orchids had just started to flower and kept some teams on their toes trying to avoid stepping on them.

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped run the event, and the control collectors who also had a beautiful sunny day on Sunday. Also thanks to Hartley crew who kept us all fed and even made a very yummy breakfast on Sunday morning.

A few teams managed to get lost driving out to the event. This stemmed from following google advice rather than the “how to get there” in the final instructions on our website. Please don’t take google “shortcuts”! And remember we will always put a rogaine sign at major turnoffs.

If you lost a bag of highlighters, a hammer or enamel mug contact Jean.
