Good evening all, the Spring WICEN season is fast approaching with the first
event occurring on the first weekend in September, that being the Brookvale
Horse Endurance Ride which is held out in the forests near Uriarra. At this
stage we have agreed to support the Sunday (3rd September), but if there is
sufficient interest from WICEN personnel, we would also look to support a
small part of the event on the Saturday as well (2nd September).
This is an enjoyable slow paced event and will use 2m portable setups in a
variety of forest locations in and around Uriarra plus the HQ setup at
Brookvale. Some of the checkpoints would benefit from having 4WD capability
to access them, but some will be 2WD accessible. This is an easy slow paced
event that allows newcomers to get an introduction to this type of
communications activity - simply reporting the numbers of horses that go
past and assisting with some admin traffic.
Could I ask for those able to support this event to let us know via the
WICEN organising email address (wicen(a)crarc.ampr.org
<mailto:wicen@crarc.ampr.org> ) of your availability, specifying which (or
both) of the days you would like to assist on and also if you have a 4WD
vehicle. There is the possibility of camping being available at the ride
base on the Saturday night, so please also advise if you would be interested
in taking advantage of this (availability of this to be confirmed).
