Fields of Gold (Weet-Bits) USD Rogaine - 10/11 Febuary 2001
A leisurely two hour drive south of Perth lies the golden fields of WA. The Fields of Gold (Weet-Bits) Rogaine will be held near Williams in open farm paddocks with gentle hills and a small amount of user-friendly bush. This upside down rogaine offers an excellent opportunity for rogainers of all abilites to hone their night navigation skills.
A relaxed summer night strolling across the fields of gold in the moonlight - what more could you ask for? There is no requirement for heavy raincoats or bulky clothing to keep you warm - it should be a pleasant balmy evening. We have contracted the Weather Bureau and they have promised there will not be a repeat of the unseasonable weather we experienced at the upside down rogaine last year.
Aside from the the pleasant summer night, upside down rogaines offer you a good chance to try out some night navigation in not-too-challenging territory. It is not though you are in the middle of parrot bush thickets from hell, but in open paddocks with a bit of stubble on them. You can actually see landforms in the moonlight and not find yourself wading through raging torrents by torchlight.
It's a case of life - be in it. Take the big step and come back for some Weet Bits for breakfast at the has house.
The challenge: 9 out of 10 rogainers will get Weet Bits in their socks. The 10th gets to stay at the hash house and sip port. Which one will you be?
