Chance for late entry from Wednesday Night

We're going to reopen the entry form for the rogaine this evening for those of you who missed out. It will be open until Thursday midnight. There will be no guarantee of catering for late entries but you will get a chance to enjoy this beautiful area! Check back here later today if you're keen to enter!

Alpine feeling on the tops

We have had a real feeling of being in the mountains today, while putting out controls along the tops of next weeks rogaine area, with views across the bush clad foot hills and down into Ashley Gorge.

The tussocks were soft and friendly, there were passages with scree and quite a lot of cliffs (some were very big). Can you see the control at the foot of this cliff?

Remember entries close on Tuesday Night, so that the Oxford Area School crew can get your food ready (6 hour: Hamburger and a homemade slice, 3 hour: A homemade slice).

A bit easier to see the control on this photo:

And here is another cool control spot (from last weekend's sunny adventure):

We had a very nice day in the foot hills outside Oxford to check out the conditions. There is a good mixture of grassy slopes and bits of native vegetation and few pines, which turns into short tussocks as one ventures on the North Eastern side of the tops. The hills are rolling between 300 to 800 moh.

We even found a water fall, which could be a potential control site.
