Lane Cove River Rogaine

Rogaine, anyone?

If you've ever heard of orienteering, rogaining is similar. It involves navigation and route-finding, but instead of trying to be the fastest on a set course, rogaining is a race to win as many points as possible within a set time.

This rogaine is 6-hour rogaine in North Head at Manly and involves lots of navigation, strategy and route-finding, as well as lovely bush scenery and historic sites. There may even be the potential for a swim.

Teams comprise between 2 and 5 people. If we get more than 5 people, we'll have a meeting beforehand to see if we can organise teams. If you've got any team preferences, let me know.

Entries and ticket sales close on the 17th of November.

Prices through NSW Rogaining are: Concession: $32, Adult: $45. I can register and pay for teams if you pay me back afterwards :) Let me know if you are not concession, I'll assume everyone is a student.
