Event: NSW Long Champs
Note
No shadowing required over the weekend as Ewan took over the job. Both Ewan & Nea seemed to enjoy themselves with none of the usual bickering.
C • Yay! 6
9 AM
Orienteering race 1:21:13 [4] 8.81 km (9:13 / km)
Gumble Pinnacles - M50 (Hard 5)
A challenging course in tough terrain where you had to stay in touch with the map all the time. Steady through first 4 but lost it a bit at 5 and had to relocate off the big boulder to SW. Not sure how but ended up at 8 before 7. After battling my way to 12 decided I needed some easier terrain so headed W down to the fence (hard work) and ran north along this before following a line of flat rocks to 13 - still lost 5 mins to Mike B. Like a lot of people had trouble with the last control.
Glad to have finished both days on technical granite maps, don't think I've managed this before,
