It is hard to believe that yet another SummerNav season has drawn
to a
close – it seems no time since our first event of the season in
the Domain. We
have been very lucky to have almost no rainy nights and even our
last event
tonight was a lovely evening to stand around and chat after
finishing, and
discuss the interesting course set for us by Richard. The lake was
picture
perfect, even more so as the sun began to set, turning the lake a
lovely soft
pink, only ruffled by the myriad of ducks, geese, swans and
pukekos (plus the
odd rabbit on the edge).
This SUNDAY we are holding an event in Woodhill forest,
starts any time
between 10.00am and 12.30. If you have enjoyed SummerNav but are
yet to attend
a forest event I would really urge you to come along on Sunday.
There will be 9
courses, so definitely one suited for all levels of fitness and
experience and
because we are so sure you will be hooked on forest orienteering
once you give
it a try all
first time forest orienteers will be offered a free run. There
will
be plenty of help available so come and give it a go. Entry via
Restall Rd (the
Headquarters road), off SH16, signposted from Waimauku. You will
need to go
through a manned forest gate at the entrance and then follow the
signs to the
event. There is a $5 road user charge per vehicle which this year
will be
collected at registration.
Costs for people not first time in the forest
Non Members Adults $24 Students $12, Family max $48
Members Adults $16 Students $8 Family max $32
SI card hire $3, 10
and under free, family
max $10, Buy $50
See website for future Sunday venues – there is an event
most weekends.
For those of you who we cannot entice into the forest
there are still
plenty of city events coming up. There will be 2 series of winter
night street
events, on Thursdays in May and Wednesdays in September, with a
mass start at
7pm, for one hour. There will also be a series of Short O events
on Saturday
afternoons in June, starts between 4pm and 4.45pm with course
lengths of about
3.5, 2,5 and 1.5km – a fun way to warm up after your days
activities. Check the
website for venues closer to the time.
Thank you for coming along to SummerNav and making the
work worthwhile
for the many volunteers who make these events possible. We look
forward to
seeing you at events throughout the year!
