Eastbourne Rogaine Update

From the Course Planner - 6 April 2002 - One week to go.

The Map

Fieldwork has been completed and controls put in place. Except for controls that are in public places - these will be put out the day before the event.

How to get there

Getting to The Eastbourne Scout Hall is your first test. It is on the beachfront (Marine Parade) in Eastbourne. There will be Orienteering signs out on the road to guide you.

Entries

41 entries have been received prior to the late date. Further entries will still be accepted - but a late fee of $10 will be charged. Maps are being printed this week - I will be printing off a few extras but if you are coming, a phone call will be useful to cement your place. Entries will be accepted on the day subject to the number of maps available.

Event Timetable

Gear Required

Don’t forget the minimum gear requirements. Basic survival gear. For each individual - Poloypro top and bottom, hat, gloves and parka. Also per team - First aid kit, compass, torch and survival blanket. If it is a cold wet day you will need more!

Bad weather on the day

It won’t be! The event will go ahead unless winds are at cyclone strength.

Out there on the course

The water is ok to drink. There are small patches of supplejack in the gullies. Most of the spurs have ground trails, but there are small patches of regen mixed in there. The two main streams are pretty easy travel.

It is the deer roaring session where the stags are on heat! There are 2 or 3 in the area - Make lots of noise and they will steer well clear. There may also be hunters around - again make lots of noise!

Coaching Sessions

The coaching sessions were a great success - There will be at least 15 people out there on the event who have a lot more skills to call on.

Early Entry Prize

The $50 petrol voucher goes to Yvette Cotton, Janet Wilson and Graham Peters from Ashhurst. Thanks to those of you who entered early.
