After Work Rogaines are back….once a month through until November.

First one is Tues 11th April 6pm

You’ll need:
– a compass
– a head-torch
– $10-$20 (depending on how late you register and whether you join an orienteering club)
– at least one friend willing to get lost in the dark with you
– an appetite for post-adventure pizza
– usual gear for keeping warm/dry/safe during outdoor adventures

These events are great for honing your navigation skills, getting a different perspective on Wellington suburbs and avoiding the sofa on winter evenings.

You are given a detailed map of the area with control points marked – you get more points for finding trickier or far-flung controls. You plan a route and navigate your way up, down, and round-a-bout to collect as many points as you can in three hours. Run, walk or sometimes bike your way round. Most events have a mix of on-street and bush controls so you can mix and match terrain as you please.
