What a great
turn out there
was at the Domain tonight – and a very big welcome to the many
first timers –
we look forward to seeing you back again soon. Our thanks to
Olivia, a first
time setter, who with the help of Guy had constructed a great
set of courses
for us tonight – a good mix of interesting route choice and
variety of places
to go, without TOO much scrambling.
Next week
Summer Nav is again on
WEDNESDAY, 20th Feb, at the Western Springs,
starting from the back
of the Zoo car park, off Motions Road. This is a beautiful
park so bring along
a picnic to enjoy beside the lake after your run. (although
you may have to
share it with all the birds and rabbits!)
We also have
the first of the
forest events for 2013, THIS SUNDAY 17th February,
at the end of
Rimmer Rd, Woodhill Forest, starts between 10am and 12.30.
This event, however,
is dependent on the forest not being closed due to fire risk.
PLEASE WATCH THE
AOC WEBSITE before going to ensure it has not had to be
cancelled. We believe
we will know by Friday evening. If you have not tried forest
orienteering before,
do come along to this event (and the rest of the A series)
Forest orienteering
is just great – you cannot help but love it!! This forest
event is the first of
the A Series – a series of events to be run on Sundays (every
Sunday between now
and Easter) by the 3 Auckland clubs. These events will have a
choice of 8
courses (4 red (difficult), 2 orange (A little easier but
require you to use a
compass and read the contours), one yellow (fairly easy,
controls all visible
from and within 50m of a track or linear feature) and one
white (very easy -
controls on tracks or linear features, with a control at every
decision point).
They will be ideal for people new to forest orienteering but
also of a high
standard to give the experienced orienteer plenty of good
practice leading up
to the Nationals at Easter.
