This is a reminder that Uringa's Margaret Jones is conducting a family-friendly forest navigation course this weekend in the Southern Highlands.
It is aimed at teaching moderate level navigation skills, aiding in the transition from easy courses. It follows on from Maggie's previous Learn to Navigate course in Sydney.
Importantly, it will very useful for those who can competently run a Summer Series (or urban street) course and want to try bush orienteering, and those who have tried bush orienteering but would like to improve their competence. For the youngest participants (5-12yrs) there will be a separate stream of training which will focus on fun in the forest.
Times: Sat Jan 30: afternoon session 1400, evening session from 1800. Sun Jan 31: Start 1000, expected finish 1500.
Venue: The Hut, Belanglo Forest, Belanglo Road, just off the Hume Highway.
Cost: Overnight accommodation is in the Hut at $12 per person (limited availability) or bring a tent at $6 per tent. Coaching fees are per person/per day of $10 with a discounted child rate of $5 per child/per day. These nominal fees cover forest access charges and a small contribution to coaching fees and materials. Bring your own food. Tea, coffee, milk and water provided. Book here.
