So who's going?

I'll be there. Heading down friday night, doing the 4hr and staying for the 4X and events on Sunday. Should be awesome!!!

I read on the site, that there won't be any camping allowed.... Sad

Does anyone know why we can't camp? Would help make it a bit more affordable.

Cracker little spot with a nice little river to sit in with a beer and soothe the aches and pains away. About 15mins up the road from Stromlo

I just came across this which might be useful to anyone planning on staying at Cotter Campground... might need to look at somewhere else.

Closed from Monday 11 October to Friday 24 December 2010 inclusive, and again from Tuesday 4 January to Tuesday 31 May 2011, due to construction activity associated with the enlargement of the Cotter Dam.

This came from the Territory and Municipal Services website

Cheers Eye-wink

@ Smiley - Yeah she does mate, but I'll be heading down with a mate and my wife. So my wife is going to stay with my sister and I'll camp out with my mate. Don't want to burden my sister with all of us in a 2bed unit. lol You going down friday night or sat morning?

I can't see why we can't camp at the venue. Seems a bit silly with all the area available... If worse comes to worse, I can stay with sis.

@ Nix - Put a sick day in Nix, it's going to be a great weekend down there!

I really hope that the course covers some of the fun parts of the Scott. Man everytime I came in from doing a lap I was sooo pumped!!! Easily the most fun XC track I've done to date.

when we were in Canberra we camped at carotel camp ground, hot showers and bbq's was pretty good and reasonably priced.
