Saltwater creek exploration Clemant State Park
📅 Sunday 22 October 2023 6:30 am - 5:00 pm
📍 Location: Clemant State Park
About this event
Leader: Mitch Nissen
Description:
Mitch Nissen, is our very own adventure racing legend who has most generously agreed to sharing his knowledge of navigating using a map and compass when in the bush.
This event is a bit of a follow on from the Navigation training course we did with Mitch. At the time we explored some creeklines in the area and our plan is to explore this further using a map and compass. We will plan on exploring a little known waterfall in the area, CP91 - ‘waterfall’ for those that still have their map from last time.
The aim of the exercise includes: follow the trail using map and compass, walk on a bearing, pace count, learn how to confirm where you are on a map, and identify contour features from the map in real life.
Numbers - Limited to 15
What to bring:
Come along as if you are heading on a bushwalk - so bring along your morning tea and lunch.
Please wear sun-safe clothing [ Long sleeved shirt/pants as some of the post learning navigation might need us to traverse through long grass and scrub]
Insect repellent.
Good walking shoes
Water
It is not essential, but a writing pad and pen/pencil to take notes
A compass [available at Anaconda, Tent World or similar stores] if you have one would be good as there might not be enough to go around.
Traditional baseplate for bushwalking: Silva Field Southern Hemisphere Plate Compass | Wildfire Sports & Trek
Thumb compass for navigation racing (orienteering, rogaining) e.g. O-Compass Model 3 Left Handed Southern Hemisphere Thumb Compass | Wildfire Sports & Trek
