Congratulations to all today’s orienteers, you are part of the record sized Summer Series since we have been organiser. We knew today would be big so we prepared more than twice the usual number of maps. We put the course lines on to reduce congestion at the tables and yet it was a squash. We don’t know how many of you there were but a rough guess is that is could have been between 420 and 450. It is very exciting for us to have so many showing an interest in orienteering. We hope you enjoyed your day.
There are a few photos taken at the event today on the Club webpage
Our thanks go to Allan Janes for the course setting today, the 2nd summer series he’s set this season. He is a busy fellow - he has also set the courses at the OY event on this Sunday.
ADVENTURE COURSES at the first 2 OY events. The first of these (OY1) is on this Sunday (the 4th) in Woodhill Forest (enter via Rimmers Rd off State Highway 16 a little before getting to the Helenville/Parakai turnoff). As an extra for the first two OYs, we are trialling a long and a medium length course designed for fit or semi-fit runners, trampers, or newcomers who wish to learn a bit about orienteering on a course similar in length to that designed for experienced fit orienteers. At OY1 there will be two such courses, 12.6 km and 7.4 km. There are also shorter courses available for newcomers. Instructors will be available to help and maps and courses can be discussed before beginning. People can run in pairs if they wish. All controls will be within 50m of tracks or fences and all legs will follow track or fence handrails. In other words, yellow standard. If you can think of anyone who may be interested, please encourage them to come along and try it. It is open to everyone. Of course there will be all the normal orienteering courses available as well so there should be something to satisfy everyone. Start times 10.00 to 12.30, Sunday 4/3/01. Signposted from Rimmers Road on SH16 4km south of Helensville. Allow 60 mins from Auckland City. Cost $11.00 seniors, $6.50 juniors, family (2 adults plus children) $30.00. Plus $5.00 per car (Maori land access fee). Cost includes $3pp forest use fee.
Try some more orienteering with the Counties Manakau Club. These events are becoming more and more popular too.

Club members, on Wednesday the 21st March (three weeks from now) there is an evening classroom training session on route choice. This will be lead by Darren Ashmore and will be great preparation for the Nationals at Easter. More details over the next few weeks.
