Join us for an orienteering bush event at Mt Peel. This follows the final Learn to Orienteer session. Newcomers are always welcome! Just wear a hat and walking shoes, and bring a waterbottle. Go out on your own or in a group. A great sport/activity for all the family from kids to grandparents!
You can borrow a compass. SI sticks may be hired for $2.
Please note there is no parking in the roundabout area at the top of the hill and there are no toilets. There are many mountain bike tracks, marked on the map by a purple dashed line, indicating that they are out of bounds (for obvious safety reasons). Pedestrian friendly roads and tracks are mapped as black dashed lines.
There are 4 courses on offer:
Very Easy - suitable for young beginners to age 13, plus inexperienced juniors from 12-14 years, following the tracks, requiring basic map orientation and lots of decision making.
Easy - suitable for beginners over 13, including adults, and experienced younger people. This course requires lots of decision making and a strong reliance on correct map orientation. You may like to try this after doing the Very Easy. There is no charge for doing a second course.
Short - some navigational experience required. Leg covering recommended.
Long - the ultimate challenge! Requires some experience and will test your fitness and route choice decisions. Leg covering strongly recommended.
There are some jumping cactus which can be hard to see in the long grass off the tracks.
Note that in orienteering, course distances are by the 'red line'. You can't run straight through a building so a 2km course will often involve running up to 2.5km.
Please remember to bring a hat and sunscreen, and drink plenty of water.
Prices are: Junior Member $6, Junior non- member $9, Senior Member $7, Senior non-member $12. Family Member $20, Family Non Member $33 . Pay on the day, cash or card.
Please pre-register to assist the organisers. Newcomers: If you do not have an Eventor login, you may send an email to rroc.oq@gmail.com
