Summer Series Results from Mt Hobson
January 18, 2005

Results from courses:   One   Two   Three   Four

Welcome back to the Summer Series of orienteering – and a very warm welcome to all the new people trying out our event for the first time. We look forward to seeing you again at future events. We hope you had a great Christmas and New Year break and are now raring to go – it seemed that way today.

We sincerely apologise to those who were affected by the shortage of course 3 & 4 maps. We try hard to guess the numbers that might come (and then add some) but you beat us today and we ran short. Thank you to those who handed their maps back in to allow someone else to have a turn and to those that had to wait for a map, thanks for your tolerance and patience. We really hate this happening but did not allow for extra interest caused by radio, local paper and recent television coverage – just great to see the numbers and we promise to be ready for you all (and your friends) next week!

We’re very sorry for those affected by the wasps nest near a control on course 3, with special good wishes going to Benjamin, who got badly stung. We certainly didn’t know it was there or we’d have chosen a different control site. We’ll report its existence to the council tomorrow and hopefully they’ll do something about it – too late for us though.

Thanks very much to Nic Oram for setting tonight’s event and to Rudy Hlawatsch for being controller – they did a great job. It was their intention to use the show-grounds for the long course but the circus put paid to that and they had to make some late changes.

It was great to have fine weather for our first day back. After the lousy weather at Christmas we were worried about what the summer series days could be like but today couldn’t have been better. Did you spend anytime looking at the magnificent view of the city from the top of the hill? – it is a wonderful sight.

Next week we are out east a bit – at Sacred Heart College (enter via gate 4). The local map is the school and Mt Taylor – a small volcano beside the school – rather less physically testing than Mt Hobson. For the adventurous the map for the longer courses will be rather different – come and see what we have in store for you. This is a Tuesday event too. In fact the next four events are on Tuesday evenings.
