 Course Description

2012 TUGGERGAINE!

This year we returned to the south of Canberra for the 2012 Metrogaine.

After thawing out from our fabulous 4 hour winter event, teams enjoyed the spectacular views of the Brindabella and surrounding ranges from the numerous vantage points offered by our course setter Glenn Bridgart.

Glenn included some wonderful undulating bushland areas with a mix of lower lying easily traversed pathways and tracks leading to a range of interesting control sites.

This event was ideally suited to both the casual 'out for a stroll' first timer, but, at the same time gave our dedicated 'dencorub junkies' a chance to prove their worth!

Some areas of the course were new to both the orienteering and rogaining fraternity and were enjoyed by all.
