What a pleasure to be back rogaining again in 2021 (for those of you not experiencing Achilles tendonitis anyway). And what better way to start a year and end the summer than by finally getting last year’s planned post-bushfire ‘Back to the Bay’ event off the ground! Many thanks to Julie Quinn and David Baldwin for turning on another enjoyable and challenging day at Murramarang. Make sure you check out our SmugMug photo gallery for this and so many other event(ful) moments.
We are spoilt for choice in the near future too. First there’s the annual twilight event about to be run across Canberra’s expansive natural playground at Black Mountain and the National Arboretum with some lakeside and pine forest terrain thrown in for good measure - it’s not called the bush capital for nothing! Then get in shape for the 8/24hr ACT Champs in cave country to our north in April.
Can I take this opportunity to remind you that none of these events happen without volunteer support. Setting, vetting and hanging are the obvious things, but the realities of seeking landowner/government permissions, ordering toilets, locking in catering, making and printing maps, and collecting controls don’t just happen by magic. If you have some time to spare before, during or after any of our events please let the event organiser know. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.
