LOCATION:Yanununbeyan NP
URL;VALUE=URI:https://new.act.rogaine.asn.au/event-details/eventdetail/17/-/act-8-24-cham
 ps.html?tmpl=component
DESCRIPTION:7-8 NOVEMBER 2020
Following the postponement of the rogaine on 31 October-1
  November the event was run on November 7-8.\n
----\n
The premier bush even
 t on the ACT calendar - whether you want to have a camping weekend, or go h
 ard and stay out all night.\n
The event will be in Yanununbeyan NP near Cap
 tain's Flat, less than an hour from Canberra. This is an area of unburnt op
 en forest over a range of hills between Queanbeyan and Captains Flat south-
 east of Canberra. The bush looks great after the rain and there are lots of
  happy, noisy frogs in the watercourses. The setters have been finding lots
  of spring flowers and hopefully some will still be around by the end of th
 e month. Check out the photos in the gallery (https://gallery.act.rogaining
 .org.au/2020-events/2020-ACT-Champs-and-8-Hour/).\n (committee/3-julie-quin
 n.html)\n
Armchair setter Ron Simpson - from Norway - has set a good course
  and passed this over to David Baldwin and Julie Quinn to ensure the flags 
 are out and the Hash House organised for you. To ensure a covid-safe event 
 there will be a few small changes around the Hash House and we will be remi
 nding you about social distancing. Hartley Lifecare will be providing an aw
 esome feed during and after the event, just like old times!\n
If for any re
 ason due to COVID-19 you are not able to get to the event, you will be able
  to get a full refund, so don't let that put you off entering! Late fee of 
 $10 per person applies from midnight Sunday 1 November. Entries close Wedne
 sday 4 November but please don't leave it until then as it makes it very ha
 rd for us to estimate catering, water for the course etc. Entry is $55 conc
 ession, $70 full rate and free for under 14.\n
The 8 hour event will start 
 1 hour after the 24 hour at 1PM and run until 9PM.\n

Final Instructions
 Important
Please take extreme c
 are when driving along Woolcara Lane. The road was damaged in last week's r
 ain and the NPWS have put in a temporary repair to allow access. Being temp
 orary it needs you to drive carefully on it to prevent further damage.\n
CO
 VID-19 Measures\n

\n - First and foremost, if you have recently returned f
 rom overseas, if you have travelled from a known COVID-19 ‘hotspot’ without
  a designated period of quarantine/isolation, or if you are awaiting the re
 sult of a COVID-19 test, or if you are feeling unwell, or have flu-like sym
 ptoms, please stay home.
\n - We have tried to make this event as contact-f
 ree as possible. The obvious signs are no prize ceremony, but gloved organi
 sers will also be handing out/collecting maps and tags with as few touches 
 as possible. Please drop your team-numbered flight plan directly into the b
 ox provided. Touch points at the toilets will be cleaned regularly. Water d
 rops will have hand sanitiser available - please use when you arrive and be
 fore you leave.
\n - Please maintain a safe 1.5m distance from other teams 
 at all times - including while doing your route planning, at the briefings,
  at the start and finish, and when approaching controls - a few extra secon
 ds now could save a life later. 
\n - We have made the navlights hands-free
  by strapping them to the same feature as the control flag, mounted perpend
 icular to the feature and ready to use without needing to touch it with you
 r hands - just present your navlight wrist tag to the reader so the navligh
 t flashes in the usual way.

Please bring to the event a printed and comple
 ted indemnity form located here (images/ACTRA_INDEMNITY_AND_RELEASE_standar
 d.pdf). Check the team list for your relevant event on the home page to ens
 ure that all details for your team including category are correct. \n

\n -
  Ensure that all team members sign a separate indemnity form. Parents or gu
 ardians must sign for people under 18. Also provide registration number(s) 
 of your car(s) at the Hash House.
\n - Present your completed indemnity for
 m at the registration desk.
\n - Medical advice: All competitors should con
 sider advising their partner of any pre-existing medical conditions (such a
 s diabetes, asthma, epilepsy, susceptibility to anaphylaxis) that may requi
 re first-aid action on course. This should include a description of the sym
 ptoms, the required first-aid action, and the location in their bag of any 
 medication (such as sugar, ventolin, epi-pen, anti-histamines).

 Where
The
  Hash House is located on Woolcara Lane, about a 40 minute drive from Quean
 beyan. Follow the Captain's Flat Rd for 18.5km from the King's Highway roun
 dabout, then turn right onto Woolcara Lane. Follow the gravel road for 14.7
 km taking care at cattle grids. Things to note as you travel the 14.7 km:\n
 1. The road goes through Woolcara Station, with the first cattle grid for t
 he station approximately 1 km after the left turn to Koombahlah Road.\n2. A
 t 5.3 km along Woolcara Lane, 400 m from the first cattle grid bear left so
  you don't end up at the Homestead.\n3. There will be stock on the road, an
 d recent rain has caused road damage, so drive carefully.\n
After entering 
 the bush you will pass the National Park day use area at Apple Box Flat and
  the HH is around 1km further.\n
A google map is here (https://www.google.c
 om/maps/d/viewer?mid=1znMymy3qSpq3-lK6U1s_WT11hsA&amp;usp=sharing).\n
\n
