Short notice heads-up for an upcoming event - Battle of the Beasts - Namadgi National Park

Good afternoon all, as alluded to by Phil in a previous email, we have another WICEN event looming on the horizon, this one being a new one for us. A group of mountain bike riders are staging an event in Southern Namadgi National Park on Saturday November 24th. The event starts and finishes at Caloola Farm (approximately 20km South of Tharwa) and involves a little over 70km of bush tracks through the southern Namadgi National Park. Last week I did a course run through to check communications for the event and it truly is beautiful territory down there. For this event we have 8 checkpoints plus the HQ and will be using the portable 2m and 80 MHz repeaters currently installed on Mt Tennent. Of the 8 checkpoints, 4 of them need 4WD for access and due to terrain shading, three of the checkpoints will need a capable portable setup (small mast and either a gain vertical or small yagi) to reliably access the 2m repeater. This event is a great opportunity to get into areas of the Namadgi National Park that you do not normally have access to, so represents a great opportunity to be able to see some really really spectacular scenery. If you are able to assist with the event, please respond to the wicen email address (wicen(a)crarc.ampr.org) and let Phil and myself know what type of vehicle and radio setup that you have.
