 Map and Course Details</h3><p>There will be one A3 map (32x45 cm), 1:25,000
  scale with 10 m contour interval. Magnetic north lines are marked on the m
 ap and it is oriented to magnetic north. Out of bounds areas are marked in 
 pink shading. It contains mainly native bush with areas of cleared farm lan
 d. The course setters notes and control descriptions are printed on the bac
 k. The altitude ranges from approximately 1100m to 1400 m.</p><p>The map is
  printed on Teslin paper which is very tough and generally does not need to
  be covered in contact.</p><p>The vegetation on the farm land is very open 
 and relatively fast travel. The bush areas in the National Park have good v
 isibility with slower travel. Gaiters are very strongly recommended for scr
 atches and snakes. (Yes, we have seen lots!)</p><h3>Water</h3><p>Please bri
 ng enough water for Hash House use and for at least&nbsp;<strong>3 hours&nb
 sp;</strong>on course. There are 2 water drops on course plus water at the 
 HH. At each water drop there is a pump that screws into the top of the wate
 r container to use. There is water flowing in the Queanbeyan River and some
  of the larger creeks, however, we do not recommend drinking any water foun
 d on course without sterilisation. Tablets are available for sale at the Ad
 min tent.</p><h3>Camping</h3><p>Camping on Friday and Saturday nights is av
 ailable at the HH on the sheep paddock. However, flat camping sites are a b
 it limited so please bring your smaller hike tent.</p><h3>Other Information
