Holmes Jungle (Day)

This event uses MapRun and physical checkpoints

Please register through Eventor before attending and ensure the MapRun app is operating on your phone (one phone needed per group). The app is used for timing. Courses also have flagged checkpoints with punches, and participants will need to carry a punchcard to record checkpoint visitation.

Explore and enjoy the wooded hills, slopes and flats of the Nature Park. Expect to use a range of navigational skills, including interpreting contours (spurs, gullies), aiming across bushy areas, and taking bearings and estimating distance in order to find point features away from tracks.
