Activities Day 3 - March 25
Pioneers and Pioneers Support will head off to Dumaresq Dam and its environs for a day of rogaining practice for year 10, and radio setup, monitoring and handover for year 11.
Rogaining involves navigation with quick decisions, and this day is practice for Day 4 where teams will attempt to gain as many points as possible, with control points having more points the harder they are to gain. Prizes are awarded for the best team on the day.
Students will need a hat, running shoes, sunscreen, wet weather gear and a water bottle. Lunch is provided.
