We’ve had our wet night for the season so you can all come to the next
13 events – fine weather a certainty ?? It was great to hear the enthusiastic
talk from the orienteers tonight despite the poor weather. The hard luck
story for the night was Sarah who miss read CM for CH and so went to the
far distant side of the hill rather than 100 metres up the road. And from
there she had the long trek to Auckland Grammar School. Well done Sarah
and great to still be positive at the end. Jenny was happy at the end too,
despite being given an envelope to do her punching on. Joanna must have
been distracted at the time of giving Jenny her map and clip card and gave
her a very water susceptible envelope to use instead. Jenny and the envelope
made it round successfully, the envelope looking wetter than Jenny at the
end.
We have two ways of preparing maps for the Summer Series. Some of the
maps are printed especially for the event and some are pre-printed maps
on which we plot the control circles. The maps we plot are very vulnerable
in the wet as the ink is water-based and runs if it gets wet. We have plastic
bags available every night to protect your map. On bad weather nights we
strongly advise you to seal the bag with cellotape to help keep the water
out. The bags we have available are very thin so you might like to bring
along your own if the weather looks as though it will be wet. One orienteer
tonight went without a bag and soon realised that her map was disintegrating
as the rain started. She quickly stuck the map inside her shorts and only
occasionally brought it out – under trees where it was relatively dry -
to see where to go next. Some people don’t think our courses are hard enough
they make a memory course out of it!!
Have you bought a seasons ticket yet? Next week is the last week to
get full value. We will still sell them minus the money you have already
paid to run on the first two nights.
Thanks to David Stewart for planning the courses for tonight - we will
not hold you responsible for the rain, David, and many competitors were
grateful for your restraint in not putting a control at the bottom of the
crater this year! Thanks also to all those who lent a helping hand tonight,
both in setting up and control collection. It was really appreciated with
things taking that much longer in the wet.
Next week (Tuesday the 13th) we are at Craigavon Park in Blockhouse
Bay. We have created a map to show you where to go and put it on the webpage.
If you are not sure have a look at https://auckoc.tripod.com/. This will
be the last event on a Tuesday evening this year - we shift to later
in the week.
