Summer Series Results from Craigavon Park
February 25, 2004

Results from courses: One   Two   Three   Four

It really is great to see such large numbers of bright and enthusiastic people again. Hope you all enjoyed the dear little park and the great piece of coastline – there were a few muddy folk returning after an investigation of the mudflats. Thanks, Ben and Michael for putting a lot of work into careful map corrections and enjoyable courses. The nature of this map means that the orienteering can not be difficult but Ben worked hard on offering you route choice and taking you to some nice areas. I think this is the first time in about 5 years that we have got home from this map dry, so they spoke nicely to the weather gods too!

We are now on the count down towards the end of the summer series events – just 3 left – does not seem long ago we had 18 events ahead of us! Next week is on Big King, starting from the car park at the back of the Three Kings shopping Plaza, accessed from Mt Albert Rd or Mt Eden road, just before the lights at their intersection. This map has been used only once before, for the National Sprint O Champs last Easter. Alistair and I set and controlled that event and really loved the time we spent up on this dear little volcanic cone. If you are not familiar with it make sure you mark this event down on your diary – I am sure you will be delighted with yet another lovely Auckland park.

This is the last week for you to get your Rogaine entry in. Entries for the National Rogaine champs (6th/7th March) close on Monday. This should really be a fun event to be part of. Don’t be put off if you are not one the super fit sort who want to tackle the 24 hour or 16 hour event (although I am sure it would be a very special experience). There is still lots of fun to be had in going out on the 6 hour event. You are more than welcome to return as soon as you have had enough. This is a wonderful piece of New Zealand countryside so get an entry in and come and join in the fun, adding rogaining to your list of experiences. There will be a great hash house available at the event centre for you to relax and recover in at the end. Entry form available at https://auckoc.tripod.com/wairamaramaregform.doc and information at https://auckoc.tripod.com/wairamaramaentryinfo.doc

The night event we held at Ambury Park last Saturday went off really well, Despite the weather trying to blow us away. The results can be seen at https://auckoc.tripod.com/21feb04.htm . This and the previous night event were great warm up runs for Katoa Po – the all-night club relay champs to be held in Taupo on the night of Saturday 13th. Club members make sure you let your club know you are interested in having a go and those who are not members – join a Club and have a go – it is a real fun event (all standards of orienteering skill are needed in each team – including real novices and young children). There is also a competition for the Club showing the most spirit and supporting their runners with the greatest enthusiasm.
