Details:
A new venue for Mountain Bike Orienteering in 2011 as we venture onto the beautiful private grounds of the Glengarry Campus, part of The Scots College School. Set in pristine bushland, overlooking Lake Yarrunga, expect some technical navigation, plenty of wildlife and awesome single track (and some hills - Ed.).

Kangaroo Valley local, Jim Anderson, is setting the course and invites participants to make a weekend of it with SS6 at Nowra the following day. Other bike play options in the Valley include easy family rides, steep downhill and sweet single track (hint, buy Jim a beer and he may divulge the whereabouts of the secret “Red Shed Tracks”).

There are lots of accommodation options in Kangaroo Valley, caravan parks, motels, pub etc, plus great free lakeside camping with facilities at Bendeela, just a few km down the road from Glengarry.
