Forest Challenge 4 Event Cache

Forest Challenge 4

Peach Trees Campsite
Jimna
27th - 28th February 2010

The event will be a vehicle based navigation event and camping weekend.
Reccomended for 4WD vehicles. All vehicles must be able to drive on gravelled forest roads.
The main event will start on saturday at 12:00 pm. Please make sure you sign in before this time.

The event is points based so you can have as long as you like to enjoy the scenery. There will be a staggered start based on 'Sign in' order. There may well also be a few 'challenges' en-route. All questions will be multi-choice answers. There will also be Kid Stops on the way to keep the little ones entertained.
Waypoints will be provided by GPX file. Although I will have a laptop with a variety of leads, it is ultimately up to you to ensure that you can get the data into your GPS. Please test that you can do this or contact me asap, so that I can come up with a solution. (there could be quite a few waypoints - feel free to do them by hand if you like!)
You must book your campsite in advance on the EPA website. Click this link to get to the site. (select Jimna, then Peach Trees)

There is NO self registration on site!
If you wish to go to the site eary, please feel free. The event will be run from as near to the gateway as possible to minimise disturbance to other campers. There is a large flat area on the left just inside the gate, if anyone is there early, please try to grab a bit of space and warn anyone else.

Questions and Answers:
Do I have to have a 4WD to attend?

Four wheel drive is specified to cover my ass!
Previous runs have catered for 2WD. You are perfectly welcome to come in a 2WD, campsite access is for 2WD cars so no problem there. As for the event, you will be traversing forest tracks that could consist of the following:

• Grass in middle of the road.
• Occasional shallow washouts (with or without some water).
• Uneven Terrain
• Boulders/Rocks in road

The emphasis is more on ground clearance than on the 4WD aspect.
If anyone wishes to bring a 2WD then you are more than welcome to give it a go, but bear in mind the above comments.
