GEOGAINE: Looking for a series of hidden containers on foot using a GPS within a set time.

It's on again! This time much closer to Adelaide. Last year we were approached by the South Australian Rogaining Association to see if we could come up with a design for a cross over event, putting together the idea of a Rogaine with the use of a GPS. The first GEOGAINE was a great success and so we have been asked to run it again.

In the pleasant surrounds of Ridgehaven in the leafy North Eastern suburbs of Adelaide your task will be to find as many temporary geocaches in 3 hours on foot. Think of the June long weekend events but without the cars. There will be 16 geocaches hidden within an easy walk of the starting location which is called the HashHouse. With four caches of four difficulty levels from Very Easy to Hard to get you started, each of these initial geocaches will contain the coordinates to a further 3 geocaches of that difficulty.
Each of the sixteen small camouflaged geocaches (no micros) will have a point value from 10 to 90 points depending on the difficulty of the hide.
This event is a competition and entry is via the SA Rogaining website.
Here is the entry form that needs to be filled out and sent to SA Rogaine Assoc. for this event.
ENTRY FORM IMPORTANT!!!
YOU DO NEED TO ENTER AND PAY ON THEIR SITE so the correct number of clue sheets, maps and food can be prepared.
Please also note that this event starts late in the afternoon.
