Twilight event at Commonwealth Park. A fun sprint event and enjoyed the course set by Richard. Good to 1, unlike the few who started in front of me and had been carefully studying their maps, but had to run around some unmapped fencing on the way to 2. Ran past 4 thinking that our control was on the vegetation boundary as drawn and in the description, but should have checked the number as I had to come back. Good through to 10 but turned in on the first path over the bridge then realised the green came right to the pond so had to double back. Backed out of 10 even though there was a way through next to the pond - the map had the uncrossable green to the water's edge so I didn't want the 'Wrath of Shep' to descend on me. No problems with the rest - just not fast enough. Beautiful evening to be out orienteering and great to see all the kids, young and old, enjoying themselves.

Nice easy run out along the lake edge and back. So many people out and about.
