Stuart Longland (VK4MSL)<p>We're about to set off for another <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/EmergencyCommsExercise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EmergencyCommsExercise</span></a> at <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/SouthbrookQld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SouthbrookQld</span></a> for the <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/Toowoomba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Toowoomba</span></a> Endurance Horse Riders' Association Hip Pocket Challenge.</p><p>This _was_ to take place in March, however <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/CycloneAlfred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CycloneAlfred</span></a> was the final word on that… so it got postponed until now. Southbrook is a little south-west of Toowoomba on the high plains… very open to the wind and quite high in altitude. Consequently, I'm grabbing all the warm gear I can lay my hands on. This morning Toowomba region had a overnight minimum of -0.1°C. Sunday is predicted to get down to 5°C (a little warmer).</p><p>It'll also be the first event I try out the checkpoint reporter program I released a couple of weeks ago. I've of course packed clipboards and paper forms, so if things go pear shaped with the computing, we have the paperwork to back it up.</p><p>There are four rides taking place. Tomorrow afternoon there's a 20km introductory ride: I understand WICEN's not involved in that one officially, but we'll probably use it as a trial run of the software.</p><p>Sunday morning we have an 80km, 40km and 20km ride to support.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/BrisbaneAreaWICEN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BrisbaneAreaWICEN</span></a></p>
