Summer Series Results from Hamlins Hill
February 7, 2001

Results from courses: One   Two   Three   Four   Score

This was the first time Hamlins Hill or Mutukaroa has been used for orienteering and it seemed quite popular. Perhaps because the level of technical skill needed wasn't too great. There was great debate about one control used on course 1 though. The Hill is very nice on a fine day if you ignore the industrial area in the near vicinity.

Many thanks to Raewyn Bennett for the setting of the courses tonight. Raewyn is a first time setter and got some help from another club member who will remain nameless but many will know by looking at the style of course one. Thanks Rob (oops).

Firstly, our sincere apologies to anyone who didn't find or had trouble finding the start/finish area. We made a major mistake and left the road signs at home. We don't carry them in the campermatic because we put them out on the way to the event but we totally forgot to bring them along. A phone text message explaining the predicament to son David failed to get through so no road signs. SORRY.

A special message from the fieldworker of Mt Richmond and anywhere else there are bidi bids - make sure to pick them off all clothing before you wash it or else. He says if you don't do this you'll end up with the nasty little prickly things in your underwear and that can be very unpleasant - it sounded as though the fieldworker has suffered this uncomfortable predicament.

Don't forget the night O event in Woodhill forest starting at the Taumauri Camp on Feb 24, a Saturday evening. Two start times for this score event; 6:45 and 8:30pm. Compete in full body cover as there will certainly be some cutty grass to go through. Don't forget a torch or headlamp. Camping is available and everyone is encouraged to stay the night; toilets and showers available. BYO food and refreshments. For further information please ring Bert Chapman on (09) 846 5083.

We deliver this email to you from a Hotmail account but we have struck a problem. They have a limit on the number of emails that can be sent in a 24 hour period and we now have a distribution list that is well over the limit. We send as many as we can on the night of the event but if yours comes later it is probably because you are in a portion of the list we delayed sending. We apologise we can't get the results to all on the night of the event - our desire - but we'll look into an alternative system.

The entry form for the rogaine to be held on March 24 has just become available. It will be available at all the upcoming summer series events and also on the Auckland web page. A little excerpt from the entry form reads "The Wairamarama Rogaine will be held in remote farmland encompassing pockets of pine trees and native bush, limestone tomos and caves, spectacular waterfalls, stony bottom streams and mountain mists. Participants need only venture into areas in which they feel confident - your route is entirely up to you.".

Some more orienteering and starting tomorrow night:
