Another beautiful evening with Self's Farm humming with young and not so young.
It was great to have the whole of the local scout region join us for their
Founders Day celebrations. Thanks to David Moorehouse and Dave Crofts for the
courses tonight which were enjoyed by all. Also a big thank you to all those who
lent a hand tonight. We are sorry about those of you who were stung by the wasps
which seemed to increase in their fury as the night progressed. There had been
no sign of them during the many visits of tonight's planners to the area. By the
time we got the first report everyone was well out on their courses. The wasps
must have got disturbed part way through the night.
We hope that you enjoyed using the electronic timing rather than clip cards
tonight. We had the odd hiccup with the system during the evening - the battery
system failed and the computer threw a couple of wobblies - thanks for your
patience. We have gone through and tried to reinstate those of you who had just
a small slip up on the way around your course - 2 controls in the wrong order, a
wrong control clipped or one left out. I hope we found you all. There were
surprisingly few with these problems tonight, though. You were all being very
diligent!!
Setters comments: Well it was a full but rewarding
day. That was my first time as course setter. I stopped heaps of you to chat
after you finished, it seems almost
everyone had a good time. There were a tales of electric fences told with a
smile. The Kiwifruit orchard seemed to be a high point for a few and a slow
point for
others. We had a surprise, rouge, wasp gathering for courses one and two which
we didn't realize until some of the younger regulars started coming back with
tales of several stings. It was interesting to hear which parts of the course
people made the worst mistakes on. The kiwifruit being the most common area of
confusion. I was pleasantly surprised that even some of the most experienced
orienteers don't get it right 100% of the time. No-one, as far as I know, fell
over in the lake getting to the island but I did see a number of very muddy
bodies returning. When the course was being planned the water level was about
300mm higher which would have been interesting. Great to see the Papatoetoe
scout groups out in force, I don't think we lost anyone. Thanks heaps to Dave
Crofts the course controller for guidance on the art of course setting. Also
final thanks to all the other helpers which make these events run so smoothly on
the night :-)

Night event 20th February
Ambury Park
What a dreamy night to be outside in lovely Ambury Park! We were only sad we had
not got into gear to camp the night there. With a lovely sunset followed by a
clear starlit sky you barely needed a torch (just as well for those of you who
returned with barely a glow!). After you had all gone and we were collecting in
the controls a beautiful orange moon appeared on the horizon, just to make the
night perfect. It was great to see so many of you coming to give this new
challenge a go we do hope those of you who were practicing for your 100k walk
around Taupo got some good experience of navigating over farmland in the dark.
Our thanks to Tim and David for the courses, and a special
thanks to the ARC staff who so kindly moved stock so that you would not be
concerned about them and even turned the electric fences off for you. We had not
asked them to do this so it was a real bonus when they volunteered to do so. Our
sympathy to the friend of one of the rangers who went out to give the course a
go and badly hurt his ankle while crossing a fence we wish him a speedy
recovery.
Next event the first of the SUMMER FOREST EVENTS, this
Sunday, 26th February, Woodhill forest. Access via Rimmer Rd off
SH16, about 15 minutes north of Waimauku. Travel to the end of the NW motorway,
head through Kumeu, past the Forest Headquarters access (Restall Rd) and on to
Rimmer Rd (about 5 minutes short of the Parakai roundabout) Starts from 10.00 to
12.30. Course closure 2.30pm. You have to pass through a manned gate where you
will need to complete a waiver form to take your car into the forest. This gate
will be open from 9.30.
There is still a possibility that CHH could close the
forest because of fire danger. In this case we will have a notice on the web
page and will send out an email please check one of these at the weekend.
Costs Non members adult $10, student $5, family $20 (plus
$3 e card hire per person), members $8, $4, $16. This event, as with all the
forest events, will use the Sport Ident timing system. If you do not own an e
card they need to be hired at $3 per person, (10 year olds and under free), or
bought at $50. This timing system is our way of knowing you are all back safely
from your run YOU MUST PASS THROUGH THE FINISH even if you have not completed
the course otherwise we will mount a search party for you at the end of the
event.
First time forest orienteers, make sure you bring your voucher from the Summer
Series for a free run. If you cant make it to this event you can use it at one
of the other AOC summer forest events.
These forest events are suitable for EVERYONE novices
through to competitive orienteers getting into training for the Nationals. There
will be 7 courses of varying length and difficulty. There will also be a string
course! If you dont know what is suitable for you, please ask. If you are a new
comer to the forest it is best to try an easier course first (there is a long
easy course specially for beginners who dont want to only do a few km) you
can always go out again on a more difficult course once you have got the feel of
a forest map.
If you are not fully confident about orienteering in the
forest make sure you ask at the campermatic for some help. There will be
experienced club members on hand to talk to you about what to do. Also, you may
like to go and do a few controls with someone who can talk you through what they
are doing before you do your own course.
At 1.15 there will be a training exercise organised
for anyone interested (both beginners and those wanting to improve their skill)
Put your name down at registration before your run if you are interested or
gather by registration after you run, about 1.15.
Next Summer Series Park event WEDNESDAY, 1st
March, Stadium Rd, Western Springs there will be parking available in the
Western Springs stadium car park. Only 3 more Summer Series events to come so
