#1 No issues apart from getting confidence in new area.
#2 Wasted time as was in valley about 50 m to NE before realising
#3 No issues. Past Shane who overshot #2.

Time approximate.
Around Dunns Swamp after the morning event.
Rocks and pagodas were interesting as was the windy river and weir dammed to supply water to Kandos concrete plant in the 1930s.
Lots of people in kayaks but didn't end up hiring one.
Assume there is no way anything like this would get environmental permission these days.

Made numerous mistakes but didn't push hard as only a novelty warm-up event.

No time after event for any exploration or adventures due to late event start.
Drove out to cabin at Glen Alice Farm.
Booked for 3 nights (but I extended another 2 nights).

45 minute lower back massage to attempt to head off being somewhat crippled after 4 days of running at Easter.

Didn't get home from Sydney until 11:30 pm last night so didn't set alarm.
Skipped Gym Weights Class.
Lower back got twisted a week or so ago and now spasming a bit so may need to get some fix up work prior to Easter.

Day off work.
