The View from The Edge - Stephen Goggs ARC2023 report
At the recent Australian Rogaining Championships in Goobang National Park near Parkes we were told it was the 43rd such event. That got me thinking about my own rogaining career, and I realised that it was indeed 43 years ago, in 1980, that I completed my first what we would now call rogaine. As many an ANU student will be remembering this month, adventure racing often first appears on the horizon in one’s first year at university. There was no IB for me at Adelaide Uni, and the event was still known as the ‘24 Hour Walk’ in South Australia then, but the concept was the same.
