Day 5: 5

We usually revisit the Styx River Forest area, just outside Armidale for this day, but Prime cup finals mean that we will need to move to another site.

Pioneers will move a location just to the west of Armidale to work on navigation techniques and to rehearse working together as a team.

All Pioneers are to meet at the Pioneers shed on Wakefield at 8.45am for a 9.15am departure. Pioneers advanced are expected at 8:15 for an 8:30 departure (TBC)

You will need to bring:

  • Compass
  • pen or pencil
  • Watch
  • walking boots
  • hat
  • wet weather gear
  • 2L water bottle
  • eating gear (knife, fork, spoon and plate)
  • sunscreen

And you'll also need:

  • a change of clothes
  • sleeping bag
  • toiletries
  • towel
  • some old shoes/sandals to wear if in the water
  • your pack and tent

Camping gear is needed to give you a good idea of the weight you'll be carrying on Bivouac, and it's also good training for the end of year trek.

Pioneers will return to TAS by 3.30pm

Our goal will be to visit 2 checkpoints, and return to a specified pickup area, making lunch en route.

We specifically need to focus on navigation techniques today.

Advanced will set up radios for Pioneers arrival. Two groups will walk to predetermined areas where Pioneers will check in.
