FRiGiD DiGiT

Thanks to Gary Bennett and the crew for another fabulous Frigid Digit event last weekend. I am sure a longer story will be in the next Journal but enjoy Gary’s trivia below and a few of Richard Maher’s pics.

- TRIVIA It’s official - the Frigid Digit is the 2nd longest running club event (27 years!)

• The first three events were not a mystery. • It has rained only twice on the Saturday night, 1996 (went ahead) and 2020 (postponed). • It rained on the way to Yarramalong (2014), but the rain cleared for the rest of the weekend. • There has been only one accident and that was by the “organiser” in 2010 who wasn’t paying attention. • There have been 282 different people experience the “Frigid Digit”, travelling approx 6000km (to destination). • Tonly Malone (Life Member), Jurgen Harmsen and Noel Sopeer (Life Member) have done 13 Frigid Digit’s each. • The largest attendance was in 2009 at Binna Burra Lodge where 83 members attended. • The coldest event was the first one in 1995. The temperature was -6 deg. •Below zero has been achieved at five other Frigid Digits.
