The first event in our Urban Adventure series was held last Wednesday evening. Eight teams took to the Strand and surrounding streets eager to get as many clues as they could in the one hour time frame. All came back within the hour with smiles on their faces and tales of woe of controls missed or not found but all agree that it was great way to spend a mid week evening and they would be back next week (Wednesday 10 Feb) for event number 2 (Hilly Hike). Results here.

Learn a New Skill...

Everyone is welcome on 7th Feb at 9am.  Rob Simson has set a 3.5km course that hones your navigation skills where a control is on a gully or ridge. You can walk the course with Rob, who will give coaching tips, or do the course yourself.  Stockyard Creek is a very enjoyable map with undulating ridges and gullies and open forest.  You may spot a wallaby or koala.  Children/Students $3, Adults $5.  See the Events Calendar for details.

If you like a treasure hunt and like to keep fit then this is the event for you!  Find out more about the Townsville Urban Adventure Series by clicking here.

It's that time of year again - now is the time to join or re-new your membership for 2010.
