In preparation for the RPM200 there will be an opportunity to run through the practice for checkpoints at Murray Bridge this Saturday the 5th May.
Why are we getting together? We are honing our skill at spotting paddlers on the river for their back to back event, which in turn is a practice for the RPM. Getting the opportunity to practice scribing the paddlers numbers while they are on the far side of the river will help prepare us for tracking at checkpoints. This event will also help us understand what equipment we will need for the RPM. An afternoon sitting beside the river isn’t a bad thing either, with a sausage or two sizzling on the BBQ.
What time: Arrive at the reserve at 12:00pm for the BBQ, with the first paddlers arriving around 1:00pm, through until around 4pm.
What to bring;
- Lunch, offerings to the BBQ, drinks etc.
- Hat, sun screen, jumper
- Table and Chair
- Optical amplification, ie binoculars
- Pen & paper
- Hand held radio
Where will you find us? Under the shelter at the Murray Bridge Foreshore Reserve;
Liaison on 439.025MHz FM Simplex.
