  (NEW!!!) Are you interested in learning about rogaining and whether this cross-country navigation sport might suit you, especially as an extension to your bushwalking.
If so, please register for a half-day ‘Introduction to Rogaining’ Workshop to be held in Lane Cove National Park on Tuesday 26 May from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, led by Ted Woodley, an experienced rogainer and NPA member.
Rogaining was formally established 50 years ago in Victoria (see History of Rogaining), and is now a world-wide sport blending navigation, strategy, resilience, and teamwork. Using only a map and compass, teams navigate diverse terrains, from rugged bush to open landscapes, to urban parks and streets.
Teams of two to five (or solo for some shorter city events) aim to visit as many checkpoints as possible, in any order, within a set time usually of 3, 6, 12 or 24 hours. Each checkpoint is worth different points, with harder-to-reach locations offering higher points. The goal is to navigate the most efficient route to maximise your score.
Rogaining is more than just a sport; it’s a fun and engaging endurance adventure for all ages and abilities. You don’t need to be an elite athlete or experienced navigator, and there are always rogainers available to help and share advice. Events usually attract 300 to 500 regular rogainers, together with a few dozen novices, so you won’t be the only newcomer.
To learn more go to NSW Rogaining Association and see the calendar of events for this year.
After registering for the Workshop you will be forwarded a homework pack to read beforehand. You only need to bring a compass and come dressed in normal bushwalking attire suitable for a two-hour practice rogaine in the Park (on tracks).
This is a joint activity with the Bush Club and is limited to thirty participants. We will assemble at the Hills District Netball Association Hall in Pennant Hills Park, access road off Britannia Street. Location: Lane Cove National Park Limit:30. From: 26 May 2026, 9:00AM
