Bring first aid kit (per team), so th at it can be checked; see below for what it must contain
Show you have a space blanket for each person (will be available for p urchase if required)
Bring one completed indemnity f orm per team member

Electronic scoring

As this ev ent is using the Navlight system of scoring, each team member will be issue d with a wristband and tag upon registration.

You will also be given pre-marked maps, control descriptions, course setter's notes and a sm all copy of the map to be used as a flight plan. We recommend that you arri ve at least an hour prior to the start of the event to allow enough time fo r final preparations and route planning. Each team must mark their intended route on the flight plan and hand it in before starting.

Map and Course Details

There will be one A3 map (297x420mm), 1:25,000 wi th 10 m contour interval. Magnetic north lines are marked on the map. Out o f bounds areas are marked in grey. The control descriptions have been print ed on the front and back. The map is printed on Teslin paper which is very tough and generally does not need to be covered in contact.

The scrub is variable, with the higher areas being pretty thick in places. The areas down in the valley are much more open, but can be pretty swampy at p oints. Gaitors and long-pants are STRONGLY recommended. The course setters have indicated places that are best to avoid. The creek systems will have a n abundance of water so do expect to get wet feet.

Water

< p>Please bring enough water for Hash House use and for at least 4 hour s on course. Access to the course is limited due to damage from the re cent floods and bushfires, so water drops may not always be somewhere conve nient. We recommend you bring a method for sterilising water as there is pl enty of water on course, particularly down in the valley. There is only one water drop on the course. There is a pump that screws into the top of the water container to use. There is (a lot of!) water in the larger creeks on the course, but it should be sterilised if drunk. Sterilisation table ts will be available at the Hash House if needed, but consider bringing you r own method of sterilisation if you have it.

Camping - UPDATE!!

Camping is now available at the n ewly opened Orroral campground just down the road from the hash house. Book ings are still essential and can be booked via the ACT parks website here . Of course, for those day rogainers who don't like a super-early sta rt, come and camp Saturday night too!
