SummerNav Field1 Auckland Domain Event: 5 2020-11-25
Planner: Neill McGowan    -    Controller: Jeff Greenwood
After the many downpours of the day it was incredible to have a lovely fine evening to get out and enjoy the challenging courses set and controlled by Neill and Jeff. The grin on Neill’s face got wider and wider as the night went on and everyone returned, somewhat muddier and feeling suitably challenged by his courses.

We wondered whether it might be appropriate tonight to make comment that all participants are taking part at their own risk. These SummerNav events are definitely just intended to be fun for everyone and if there is ever a route or a control that for some reason you do not feel comfortable to visit – DON’T GO THERE. The controller will always have done their best to ensure each course is safe and appropriate for the type of person expected to go out on that course but things can change from the days leading up to an event, and in fact during an event. If you feel the terrain is too slippery, the traffic too thick, there are people or animals that concern you, just leave out that portion of the course. At least one competitor tonight chose not to go right to one of his controls because he was concerned about activity in the area at the time. This is most definitely the correct thing to do. It is not the World Champs!

Next week the event is again on Wednesday, 2nd December (yes that is right – December!!) at Hamlins Hill (Mutukaroa Regional Park) accessed from 1014 Great South Rd, Penrose. The traffic at this time of night can be quite busy so it is easier to do a left turn into the carpark (ie approach from the north) than to try and do a right turn when coming from the south.
