Standard: Everyone welcome
Meeting: No meeting
UPDATE - ENTRIES NOW CLOSED.
Unfortunately this event booked out in less than 3 days. The next VRA hosted nav training will be in March - keep an eye on the VRA website if you're interested.
If you want to learn how to navigate before then, the best way to learn is to enter a rogaine and learn in the field. MUMC usually run basic theory sessions on the Tuesday before a rogaine competition.
******************************
NEXT VRA TRAINING DAY IS IN MARCH
VRA hosting a 2 hour night navigation training session.
What to bring: Day pack, snacks, water and a compass if you have one. Come dressed
appropriately for the weather and wear sturdy footwear. You will need a torch (preferable a
head torch). Loan compasses available if needed.
Program: Some prior experience of navigation in the bush is desirable but not essential.
We will concentrate on night navigation techniques such as pace counting, flowing a
compass bearing at night and use of attack points.
Contact: Contact Andy Elam or 0421 089 999 for early
interest.
Online Entry: Online entry will open in Early August
