Terry’s Little Terror Treasure! The colour of my washing machine water was true testament to the fun endured during Terry’s 24hr Point to Point Rogaine! BLACK!

Setters Report “Fun in the Sun 6 and 3 hour Bush Rogaine” Sundowner Station 3 April 2011, By Tony Webster Without too much sun it was a pretty good day for rogaining. Having already set the course for an 8 hour rogaine (given it was folded into a 6 hour event), it was pretty obvious [...]

If you missed the Truffle Chaser 3/6 hour Bush Rogaine on Sunday 20th, you sure missed a top event.
