The Champs are being held in southern Namadgi National Park and the area is "As Naas as Pi ". There might be pies at the HH if you are lucky, and there is definitely a Naas River. The area has many open grassy valleys and gullies, with a few handy fire trails for easy travel. The course setters are keeping you out of the post-fire scrubby bits. with thanks to some excellent vegetation mapping by Ryan Stocks. The area has some awesome boulders and rock slabs so expect some at the control locations!!
Don't be put off that it is a championship event. With catering for dinner, breakfast and lunch all included, plus an all-night cafe somewhere on the course, it's a great opportunity to explore as much or as little as you like of some awesome country, with a great camping site where you can sleep overnight. There are lots of historic huts to visit, beautiful forest and open grasslands. So get your team organised now for the 24 hour or 8 hour on the weekend 28-29 March. It takes about 75 minutes to drive to the HH.
The event is also a selection for the Australian Intervarsity Champs with an ACT team getting travel paid to that event on 29-30 August near the NSW-Qld border.
Camping and parking are in a limited space so please share transport.
