A multisport weekend at Wingello, 1.5 hours away from Canberra. On Saturday, NSW rogaining are running a 6/12hr rogaine. We'll camp overnight and go climbing on Sunday. There is also a possibility for a MTB on Friday for a dash, bash and thrash - or a better version of a triathlon.
You're welcome to sign up for either or both of the days. I will attempt to organise transport for day-trippers and overnighters.
We'll be car camping at the (free) Wingello State Forest campsite, see http://www.findacamp.com.au/camp-site.php?camp=409 which has water and a long drop. You'll need to bring all your own camping gear and food for 2 days. If you haven't camped before, please let me know and I will tell you what to bring.
There will be no pre-trip. Contact me if you have any questions. Trip will be cancelled if the rogaine is cancelled. Sunday climbing will be cancelled if there is rain forecast.

You will need (can be hired from gear store):
* Helmet
* Climbing harness
* Climbing shoes
* Belay device and locking carabiner
Shared gear (ropes and draws) will be provided.
Beginner climbers are welcome to sign up, but you need to have belayed in some form before (e.g. you have a belay pass from some climbing gym). Beginner numbers are dependent on the number of experienced sign ups, so signing up is no guarantee of going on the trip. If I haven't climbed with you before, please let me know what experience you have. If you don't do this, I will automatically cancel your registration.
Saturday: do 6/12 hour rogaine. Sunday: Climb at Wingello - Gulp Rd.
