Next Week – Wednesday – Mt Richmond – details below – also Sunday at Massey University

What a beautiful evening to explore one of Auckland’s very special parks. Great to see so many faces, both new and old, out enjoying themselves. Several people commented that they found navigating around the lakes one of the most challenging events they had been to. It was quite easy to find yourself on the wrong little spur on the lake edge, wasn’t it! Thanks, Kerry and Rudy, for your courses tonight which were enjoyed by a great crowd. Welcome to our secondary schools competitors too, for the start of the secondary schools competition. Do remember to put your school name on the clip card so you will be awarded your points for yourself and your school, even if you don’t attend a secondary school which sends lots of competitors. How about you bring along some of your class mates too next week.

Next week the event is on Wednesday, 14th February at Mt Richmond. If you don’t know this miniature volcano do come along and have an explore. It really is a lovely place with some of the most beautiful old trees you will see anywhere, especially some of the Morton Bay figs. The one warning for this map, however, is to wear an old pair of socks. It is renowned for its biddy bids. These cause you no concern running through them but your socks certainly are a challenge to clean up afterwards. Course 1 will also visit Hamlins Hill, another lovely hill close by. For those of you wanting to sharpen up your orienteering skills with the Nationals only about 8 weeks away there will be a memory course – great practice in simplification – you may like to bring a compass if you are planning to do this, to help orientate the little pieces of map. Entry is from either Great South Rd or the Mt Wellington highway as the event centre this year will be by the bowling club and playing fields on the Mt Wellington Highway side

Before the event next week, however there is the first of the Sunday events which is being held at Massey University at Albany this Sunday, 11th. There will be a proper sprint race, plus the equivalent of our courses 2 to 4. They will be using electronic timing for the sprint race so if you own an e card please bring it along (there will be cards available for hire if you don’t have one). There will also be a special course for the very young. Starts will be between 1pm and 3pm. As at all events, there will be something for everyone and all are more than welcome.

The first of the real night events is also now only a couple of weeks away on Saturday, 24th Feb. Get those torches ready and if you are interested in camping the night there (which I highly recommend) give the ARC a call to book a site – not that there are ever many others there but you do need to let them know you are coming.
