Station Stampede

The rogaine on Saturday was tops. I really enjoyed myself. It was out near Mt Byron / Somerset Dam area. Was fairly hilly. I got caught out a bit in the planning of the route though... In some parts of the map, only index contour lines were shown - not contour lines. Ie: contours were 10 metres, indexed every 50 metres. The idea being the country in parts was so steep that showing all contours would be impossible hard to read (they'd be too close together) - so just index contours were shown. Crazy steep.

Anyhow, it was really nice, scenic country side around there - especially the views from the top of the hills.

If you've got Google Earth installed, you can download the maps, and the teams routes. Go to: QLD Rogaine website --> Results --> Station Stampede results are at the top of the list - pdf results and Google Earth info (map and routes).

On the plus side, there's a 3hr event coming up - end of July. Yay!
